This shower head is intended to be used in conjunction with other

products, such as shower or blending valves, diverters and stopcocks from the Bristan

ranges in order to create a system to suit your requirements.

The shower head should be arranged in your system with a supply of mixed water.

INSTALLATION (Concealed Pipework)

Connect the shower heads 1/2" connector to pipework using the 1/2" BSP connections.

Secure the backplate to the wall using the fixings and wall plugs provided. Attach the

shower head to the backplate and secure with grub screw using a hexagonal key.

INSTALLATION (Exposed Pipework)

Secure the sealing plug to the front of the backplate, ensuring that the O-ring is fitted.

Loosely connect the shower head to pipe work to mark out the position on the back plate to

the wall. Remove the shower head and drill the wall. Then fix the backplate using the

screws and plugs provided. Replace the fixed head pipework, securing with a grub screw.

NOTE:

Before finishing the installation, turn on water to supplies to

check for leaks at joints & connections.

ECONOMY FLOW CONTROL

When a VR1000 is installed with a time flow control we recommend that a 7 litre flow limiter is

fitted to limit the shower head flow rate. Please note that flow limiters are not supplied with this

product but can be purchased separately via www.bristan.com.
