General

1. Make sure that the shower fittings are installed by a competent installer.
2. Installations must comply with Water Regulations (Bye-Laws, Scotland), and any other Local Regulations and Building Regulations in force at the time of installation.
3. Before installation carefully inspect the new fixture for any signs of damage.
4. The shower fittings should be positioned at a convenient height for all the family. Position the fittings to spray across rather then towards the opening of the cubicle and also away from the shower control. Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may reduce the life of the hose.
5. A hose retaining ring is supplied to prevent the handset from dropping below the spill over level of the bath or shower, which could lead to contamination from backsiphonage.
   The supplied hose retaining ring should meet the great majority of user requirements for shower installations with flexible outlet fittings.
   However, there will be occasions when the hose retaining ring will not provide a suitable solution. In these instances an outlet double check valve, e.g. the Mira DCV-H, must be fitted. The inclusion of the Mira DCV-H will increase the required supply pressure typically by 0.1 bar.
6. Do not fit any form of flow control in the outlet pipe work if the shower fittings are installed in conjunction with a product that requires the fittings to act as a vent (e.g. an electric shower).
7. Special consideration should be given to the fixing arrangements when installing onto a dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or laminated panel wall structures. Installers may wish to obtain alternative proprietary cavity fixings, or choose other options, however, these methods of fixing are beyond the scope of this guide.

Setup Guide

To install the Mira Showers Fitting Pipe L14A, 

• Start by turning off the main water supply to the shower system. 
• Disconnect any existing pipes from the showerhead or hand shower. 
• Apply a small amount of plumber's tape to the threaded ends of the new fitting pipe for a secure seal.
• Connect the fitting pipe to the showerhead or hand shower, ensuring that it is securely tightened but not over-tightened. 
• Reconnect the other end of the pipe to the main water supply, following the same procedure. 
• Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks.

Cleaning

• Many household cleaners contain abrasives and chemical substances, and should not be used for cleaning plated or plastic fittings.
• These finishes should be cleaned with a mild washing-up detergent or soap solution, and then wiped dry using a soft cloth.
• Use your thumb or a soft cloth to wipe any limescale from the soft nozzles and the front surface of the handset spray plate.
