The External shower point comes complete with a trigger shower head assembly (shower fitting, 1.5m long shower hose and swivel head). It uses the unit’s existing hot and cold water supplies. Inserting the shower assembly with a push and turn action, locks it in place and turns on the water. Temperature adjustment by turning the assembly. 15mm male push fit connections on the rear.
You will need a 60mm cutter to create the mounting hole.
Inlet connections for hot and cold water - you will need Whale quick connect plumbing system fittings, size 15mm - we recommend Equal elbow item code WX1503(B) or Equal straight WX1504(B) or similar. John Guest Speedfit works well too. If you have 12mm tube then the Whale WU1512 straight reducer will make the connections. All these fittings can be easily found by putting the part number into Google or this website.
Please note the cold feed is the one on the right looking from the front (plastic side), the one on the left from the back.
We supply 4 fixing screws.
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.
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.
For On demand pressure pumped water systems the Shower Point can be installed as it is, without the need for a electrical switch.
Different Shower Head. If you want a different shower head, most domestic Shower Heads will fit onto the hose assembly supplied.
To extend the length of the hose - Longer Shower Head Assemblies are now available as extras - 2.0 m long (DLTEXS688SPSH20) and 2.5 m long (DLTEXS688SPSH25) and 3.0 m long (DLTEXS688SPSH30)
You can lengthen the hose using a 1/2in BSP Nipple or equivalent and a standard shower hose with 1/2in BSP fittings.
