OO QO L N WARNING The outlet of the shower acts as a vent and must not be connected to anything other than the hose and showerhead supplied PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Plumbing to be carried out before wiring DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit as heat can transfer along the pipework and damage components Compression fittings MUST be used to connect to the inlet of the shower Note An additional stopvalve complying with Water Regulations MUST be fitted in the mains water supply to the shower as an independent means of isolating the water supply should maintenance or servicing be necessary IMPORTANT Before completing the connection of the water supply to the inlet of the shower and in compliance with Water Regulations flush out the pipework to remove all swarf and system debris This can be achieved by connecting a hose to the pipework and turning on the mains water supply long enough to clear the debris to waste Procedure Turn off the water supply either at the mains stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve Connect the mains water supply to the inlet fig 12 of the shower via 15mm copper stainless steel or plastic pipe using a 15mm x 15mm elbow compression fitting The plastic filter protrudes from the inlet so check it is in place before connection The compression fitting must be pushed fully home on
3. Safety Regulations 1994 this appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the fixed wiring of the electrical mains system Make sure all electrical connections are tight to prevent overheating Fuses do not give personal protection against electric shock To enhance electrical safety a 30mA residual current device RCD should be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower circuits This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit Switch off immediately at the isolating switch if water ceases to flow during use Other electrical equipment i e extractor fans pumps must not be connected to the circuits within the unit Switch off at isolating switch when not in use This is a safety procedure recommended with all electrical appliances 3 10 As with all electrical appliances it is recommended to have the shower and installation checked at least every two years by a competent electrician to make sure there is no deterioration due to age and usage INTRODUCTION This book contains all the necessary installation and operating instructions for your Triton Topaz T100si thermostatic electric shower Take time to read this book thoroughly and familiarise yourself with all instructions before commencing installation Please keep it for future reference The shower installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified person and in the sequence of this instruction book Care taken during the installati
