Installation

■

Before installation of any HydroPanel

II unit, rotate the stem

(or handle if attached) of the valve to its full clockwise position (OFF).
Position the HydroPanel

II Unit

(See Figures 1 and 2) Determine the horizontal position of the unit
according to shower room layout, and mark the center line.
For multiple shower applications, the recommended minimum
distance between the center line of two units is 36" (1914 mm).

6. For mounting the piping assembly lower bracket (C),

drill one small holes in the wall 23-1/2" (587mm) below
the showerhead on the centerline.

7. Install any mounting anchors as detailed by the

individual room specifications.

8. Secure upper piping bracket B with mounting screws

(not included).

9. Secure lower piping bracket C with mounting screw

(not included).

1. Determine the floor-to-showerhead height for the unit.

Recommended heights are listed below:

Men -

77" (1956 mm)

Youth - 66" (1676 mm)

Women -

70" (1778 mm)

Youth - 60" (1524 mm)

2. The pre assembled copper tubing supply water inlets are

4-1/8”(105 mm) from the top of the shroud, and 3-5/16"
(84mm) left and right of the center line. Adjust supply
piping accordingly.

Install the Piping Assembly
The valve handle assembly, piping and HydroPanel

II shrouding

must be separated before mounting to wall. For #450-7104, 7054,
7105, 7055, 7106 and 7056 HydroPanel

II units, the hand shower,

hose and showerhead base come pre-assembled to the shroud-
ing. Refer to Figure 4.
3. Detach the valve assembly by removing valve retaining

screw, handle and collar. Undo the screws at D and take
off the dial insert.

4. Remove the screw at A above the showerhead. Slide the

piping out of the shrouding; the showerhead remains
attached to the shroud.

5. For mounting the piping assembly upper bracket (B), use the

bracket as a template and drill two small holes in the wall at
showerhead height.

10. Connect the supply lines to the piping assembly.
Attach the Shrouding
Do not remove the entire chrome plated end cap from the
shrouding. It functions as an end cap and gasket for shroud
extension. Part of the end cap can be broken out to provide verti-
cal and horizontal piping clearance.
11. To remove scored section, hit it sharply with a hammer.
12. To connect the showerhead on the shroud to the water outlet

pipe, slide the showerhead nipple on the inside of the shroud
into the piping assembly. The End Cap will slide over the
supply piping. Secure the shrouding with the screw at A.

Test the System
Before final assembly, test the HydroPanel

II system.

13. Fit the handle onto the valve stem and turn clockwise to the

shut off position.

14. Turn on water supply, and then rotate the valve handle coun-

terclockwise. Water should come through the showerhead.

15. Now turn handle fully counterclockwise and measure the

temperature of the outlet water. Wait until the temperature
stabilizes for an accurate reading.

16. Turn off valve (fully clockwise) and check all connections

(showerhead, pipe connections, valve bonnet) for leaks.
