How To Fit A Shower
Most importantly make your mind up on the type of shower your fitting. Once you have chosen the shower you want in your bathroom, start planning out where you would like to put the shower and control. Use something to mark where you would put it also to work out the pipework included and the drainage system. Where the shower switch and cable route is situated must also be acknowledged if your thinking of setting up an electric shower.
Now follow the instructions given on your manual to fit your shower control, you must cut off the water supply previous from fitting the pipes as they allow water to flow to the system. If you can, use isolating valves and a waterproof layer to wrap around the pipes for protection. The pipes can now be built into the wall and plastered over for an elegant look. Next fit in the base tray along with the shower head and fittings, when completed attach the water supplying pipes to the main shower control. Switch on the supply for flowing water and analysis the pipes in case of leaks, because some may require tightening. If its an electrical shower you wish to use in your bathroom then make sure the electricity supply for the shower is switched off and that its not switched back on until the electrical connections are properly fixed. Your shower is now ready to use.
Remember that the head of the shower you wish to set up should be fitted so that the water in the bath below does not touch it, also make sure it has a check valve.
