Combi HP thermostatic mixer shower
Where this is not possible refer to the ‘flushing
procedure’ on page 20.
Refit the valve to the mounting bracket/wall
surface and pipework (fig.32). Tighten the inlet
nuts and inlet elbow grub screws.
If fitting a fixed head, refer to the ‘Fitting the
fixed head’ section and complete the outlet
pipework to the fixed head position.
Note: The outlet pipe for the fixed head should
protrude from the surface of the wall between
50 mm and 65 mm. Before fitting the fixed head
to the wall, connect a hose to the pipework and
direct to waste.
If fitting a riser rail kit, refer to ‘Fitting the
bulkhead’ and complete outlet pipework.
Before fitting the bulkhead to the wall connect
the shower hose and direct it to waste.
Open the isolating valves to the shower and
flush through checking that the flow control
is opened fully and the temperature control
is rotated to ‘HOT’ and then to ‘COLD’ (if
necessary depress the maximum temperature
override button). Check for leaks and remedy if
necessary.
If a fixed head is installed, make good the outlet
pipe channel.
Note: If fitting a fixed head, the tiling around
the outlet pipe must be as tight as possible so
that the special lock washer will seat, otherwise
a larger diameter washer will have to be placed
behind the lock washer.
Make good the wall surface around the valve
and make sure the plastering/sealing is taken
tight to the PVC shroud (fig.33).
Should the shroud protrude beyond the wall
surface, trim flush with a sharp knife (fig.34).
Offer the flush mount plate up to the finished
tile surface and making sure the valve and plate
are aligned, mark the ‘arrowed’ fixing holes
(fig.35). Remove the flush mount plate then
drill and plug holes.
Break off the alignment tabs on the flush mount
plate (fig.36). Place a ring of silicon sealant
round the plate so that the plate seals against
the wall. Secure the plate to the wall using the
screws provided. Wipe off any excess sealant.
