Caraflo Shower Mini Mixer 1/2″ Tap

In winter take care to drain down the shower unit to prevent damage from freezing water – it is therefore good to put isolation valves onto the feeds.

Permanent Buildings  If fitting to a permanent building there is a requirement for additional non return valves on the hot and cold feeds to prevent back siphonage. Please take advice from a fittings supplier. If the wall is thicker than 40mm then cut the 60mm dia hole to a depth of 40mm from the outside and then cut a larger hole (probably in excess of 80mm dia) to meet the 60mm hole from the inside. This is to allow the connections to be fitted and accessed.

Just cold feed  The best way to make the shower unit work for cold feed is to put the cold feed into both inlets – then – whatever the position of the insert there will be a good supply. Otherwise you can put the cold supply into one inlet and then blank off the other using a Whale fitting and an end plug – probably WU1208.

For microswitch activated water systems, you will need to install a switch for the pump for the Shower Point. We suggest an illuminated switch just inside the door to remind the user to switch the pump off when the Shower Point is not being used
