INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a quality Mira product. To enjoy the full potential of your new product, please take time to read this guide thoroughly, having done so, keep it handy for future reference. These shower fittings are designed to give a satisfactory shower over a range of pressures between 0.1 and 5.0 bar.

INSTALLATION

General

1. Make sure that the shower fittings are installed by a competent installer.
2. Installations must comply with Water Regulations (Bye-Laws, Scotland), and any other Local Regulations and Building Regulations in force at the time of installation.
3. Before installation carefully inspect the new fixture for any signs of damage.
4. The shower fittings should be positioned at a convenient height for all the family and so that the deluge head will discharge down the centre of a bath or shower cubicle. Position the deluge head to spray across rather than towards the opening of the cubicle (if applicable) and also away from the shower control.
5. Special consideration should be given to the fixing arrangements when installing onto a dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or laminated panel wall structures. 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.

Install the Shower Arm and Deluge Head
The shower arm and deluge head must be fitted after the installation of the shower control and the outlet pipe must protrude 18 mm (± 2 mm) from the finished wall surface. The outlet pipe must be fitted at a suitable height and so that the deluge head will discharge down the centre of a bath or shower cubicle.

1. Mark the positions of the backplate fixing holes.
   Caution! Be aware of hidden pipes or cables.

2. For solid walls drill the fixing holes for the backplate with a 6 mm drill and insert the wall plugs (supplied). For other types of wall structure alternative fixings may be required (not supplied).
   Caution! Take care not to drill into hidden pipes or cables.

3. Carefully fit the backplate over the outlet pipe and secure with the fixing screws (supplied).
   Caution! Take care not to damage the ‘O’ Seal in the back of the backplate.

4.  Fit the olive and compression nipple over the outlet pipe and tighten the compression nipple.

5. Fit the concealing shroud onto the shower arm.

6. Fit the compression nut and olive onto the shower arm.

7. Fit the shower arm into the compression nipple and tighten the compression nut.

8. Hand tighten the concealing shroud onto the backplate.

9.  Screw the deluge head onto the shower arm, if necessary fit the flow regulator. Important! Certain mixing valves may have flow regulators, refer to your shower control installation and user guide for  details. Caution! The shower arm is not designed to take weight, therefore care needs to be taken when installing the deluge head.

10. Turn on the shower control and check for leaks.

Alternative Installation procedure using the wallplate

1. Loosely screw the backplate to the wallplate with the two backplate screws provided.
2. Place the wallplate and backplate assembly over the copper pipe.
3. Mark the position of the wallplate and its fixing holes on the wall.
4. Remove the screws and backplate from the wallplate.
5. Drill the two backplate fixing holes, if necessary make a recess approximately 6 mm deep to accept the wallplate. Plug the two fixing holes.
6. Place the wallplate over the copper pipe and fix to the wall with the two wallplate screws.
7. Temporarily fit the two backplate screws to the wallplate. This will prevent the holes from becoming blocked with plaster and grout.
8. Finish the surface of the wall as required ensuring the pipework is protruding by 18 mm ± 2 mm.
9. Remove the two backplate screws.
10. Place the backplate against the finished wall surface and use the two backplate screws supplied to fix the backplate to the wallplate.
