Important: If you install this shower
valve with a gravity fed system, there must
be a minimum head (vertical distance)
from the underside of the cold water
storage tank to the showerhead position
of at least 1 metre.
Note: Pumped system (with Essex
flange) If you install this shower valve to
a pumped gravity fed system where the
minimum head (vertical distance) from
the underside of the cold water storage
tank to the top of the hot water cylinder
is less than 1 metre we recommend an
Essex flange is used as shown.
Flushing Pipe-work
Important: Before connecting the
shower valve (see ‘Installation’ on pages
16-17), supply pipe-work must be flushed
to clear debris before connecting the
shower valve. Debris will reduce the
performance and life of the shower.
