Installation and
User Guide
These instructions must be left with the user
GENERAL
-
Make sure that the shower fittings are installed by a competent installer.
-
Installations must comply with Water Regulations (Bye-Laws, Scotland), and any other Local Regulations and Building Regulations in force at the time of installation.
-
The shower fittings should be positioned at a convenient height for all the family. Position the fittings to spray across rather than towards the opening of the cubicle and also away from the shower control. Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may reduce the life of the hose.
-
Do not fit any form of flow control in the outlet pipework if the shower fittings are installed in conjunction with a product that requires the fittings to act as a vent (e.g. an electric shower).
-
Special consideration should be given to the fixing arrangements when installing onto a dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle, or laminated panel wall structure. Installers may wish to obtain alternative proprietary cavity fixings, or choose other options, however, these methods of fixing are beyond the scope of this guide.
Note! An alternative Slide Bar Support Pack is available. Contact our Customer Services team for more details. -
A hose retaining ring (integrated into the soap dish) is supplied to prevent the showerhead from dropping below the spill-over level of the bath or shower, which could lead to contamination from the back-siphonage.
The position of the shower and shower fittings must provide a minimum gap of 25 mm between the showerhead and the spill-over level of any bath, shower tray, or basin and 30 mm between the showerhead and the spill-over level of any toilet or bidet.

CLEANING
Cleaning
Many household cleaners contain abrasives and chemical substances, and should
not be used for cleaning plated or plastic fittings. These finishes should be
cleaned with a mild washing-up detergent or soap solution, and then wiped dry
using a soft cloth.
INSTALLATION
-
We recommend that the slide bar is installed with the ends flush. Mark the wall fixing positions and drill two holes to suit the wall fixings.
Caution! Do not drill into cables or pipes in the wall.
Note! For a new installation, optimum fixing centers are 635 mm. Replacement installation fixing centers are 635 mm maximum. -
Install the wall plugs and the mounting brackets and secure them with the wall screws.
Note! Check for vertical alignment before tightening. The mounting brackets are slotted to aid this alignment. Then fully tighten. -
Install the clamp bracket (rotate the lever to help with the installation), the hose retaining ring, and the slide bar supports to the slide bar.
-
Make sure that the wall screws are flush with the inside edge of the mounting brackets. Fit the slide bar supports over the mounting brackets, then adjust the slide bar vertically ensuring an equal length of slide bar protrudes from the top and bottom mounting bracket (or flush with the end of the slide bar for new installations).
-
Remove the slide bar assembly carefully, preventing any further movement between the slide bar and the slide bar supports.
-
Tighten the two slide bar clamping screws no more than half a turn to secure the slide bar supports to the slide bar.
Caution! Overtightening these screws will cause damage. -
Install the slide bar assembly onto the mounting brackets. Tighten the 2 x M4 screws with the supplied 3 mm hexagonal key.
Caution! Do not force assembly onto the mounting brackets, re-align a slide bar support if required.
Soap Dish Installation
- Loosely secure the tapered block into the soap dish with the soap dish screw.
- Insert the soap dish assembly into the slide bar and tighten the screw.
Caution! Do not overtighten.
Hose and Handset Installation
-
Fit a hose seal into the conical nut and screw onto the outlet of the shower.
Caution! Do not overtighten. -
Feed the hose through the hose retaining loop of the soap dish.
-
Fit a hose seal into the conical nut and screw onto the handset.
Caution! Do not overtighten. -
Place the showerhead assembly into the clamp bracket assembly.
Note! Do not overtighten the screws
USER MAINTENANCE
De-scaling the Showerhead
Important! Keeping the showerhead clean and free from limescale will ensure
that your shower and showerhead continue to perform to their maximum. A
blocked showerhead can restrict the flow rate and may cause damage to your
shower.
Use your thumb or a soft cloth to wipe any limescale from the soft nozzles
Inspecting the hose
Important! The shower hose should be inspected periodically for damage or internal collapse, internal collapse can restrict the flow rate from the showerhead and may cause damage to the shower. Remove the shower hose from the shower, inspect and replace the hose if necessary.
SPRAY MODES
When adjusting shower spray modes do not force lever as product damage will occur.
