Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may
reduce the life of the hose.
A Hose Retaining Ring is supplied to prevent the handset from dropping
below the spill-over level of the bath or shower tray, which
could lead to contamination from back-siphoning. The supplied Hose
Retaining Ring should meet the majority of user requirements for
shower installations with flexible outlet fittings. However, there will be
occasions when it will not provide a suitable solution. In these instances
an outlet double checkvalve, e.g. a Mira DCV-H, must be fitted. This
will increase the required supply pressure typically by 0. bar (see section
“Accessories”).
Supply pipework must be flushed to clear debris before connecting to
the appliance.
To avoid damage to the case when soldered fittings are used, pre-solder
the pipework and fittings before connecting them to the inlet connector
assembly. Refrain from applying excessive force when making any
connections. Always provide mechanical support when making the
plumbing connections.
The appliance is fitted with a brass inlet compression assembly for
connecting to a 5mm supply pipe from the top, bottom or back. Double
checkvalves, if fitted in the inlet supply to the appliance, can cause a
pressure build-up, which could exceed the maximum static inlet pressure
and damage the appliance.
