Accessories List

A diagram illustrating the various components of the shower system, with numbered parts corresponding to the accessories list. It shows the shower heads, arms, body jets, main control unit, handheld shower, and mounting hardware.

Dimensions & Water Pipe Line

A schematic of the shower system's water pipe line and installation layout. It depicts the overhead shower, body jets, and handheld shower connected to hot and cold water inlets. Dimensions are provided for the placement of the overhead shower (47 1/4"-59" / 1200-1500mm) and the main control unit (77/8"-9 13/16" / 200-250mm) relative to the finished wall surface.

Unit: mm/inch

Installation Steps

Hand Shower Holder Installation

Follow these steps to install the hand shower holder:

1. Remove the male connector from the top of the shower holder (do not damage the gasket, otherwise it will leak).
2. Screw the thread into the water pipe inside the wall.
3. Screw the main body into the thread.
4. Rotate and fix the body with the special-shaped wrench.
5. Connect hand shower and the hose.

Overhead Shower Installation

1. Connect the shower arm with the cover before screwing the arm into the riser connection to prevent damage.
2. Fix the shower head onto the shower arm and apply tape to pipe threads on both ends.
3. Do not overtighten the shower head. It is a 360° swivel connection.

Main Body Installation Depth & Piping

Main Body Installation Depth

The installation depth of the main body should be no less than 2 15/16" (75mm) and no more than 3 17/32" (90mm), including the thickness of the tile. Otherwise, the deck plate cannot be installed. The opening size of ceramic tile shall be smaller than the deck plate size.

Piping Instructions Before Tiling

As shown in the figure, the inlet and outlet pipes are pre-buried. Please pay attention to the correct direction when installing the pre-buried main body. Before tiling, turn on the water to test whether the left and right inlet pipes are tightly connected without leakage. Then, adjust the flow switch to the "on" position to check for leaks in the mixed outlet pipes.

Connector size of male thread: USA: 1/2"-14NPT, Canada: 1/2"-14NPT, Europe: G1/2".

Main Body Valve Installation

Step 1: Wall Mounting

Make marks according to the dimensions of the main body valve, then drill anchors into the wall (for a concrete wall). Secure the main body directly to a wood wall using screws. When installing the main body, ensure the "UP" side is facing upwards; do not install it upside down. Note: The level meter should be parallel to the wall; otherwise, the deck plate cannot be installed properly.

Step 2: Component Installation and Handwheel Precautions

Please install the deck plate, water diverters, and water diverter rods step by step. Install the handle using the screw provided, and then secure it with the handle cap.

Precautions for Handwheel Installation:

• The alignment line cannot be misplaced; it should be kept in line. Otherwise, the water temperature of 100°F or 38°C will not be correct.
• Please ensure that the plastic locating ring (A) and handwheel locating pin (B) are kept in the same line with 100°F or 38°C. Otherwise, the water temperature will be incorrect.

Water flow control: Turn clockwise to decrease and stop; turn anti-clockwise to increase to the maximum.

Do not remove the white wear ring; otherwise, the handwheel will be damaged.

Main Body Water Outlet Switch Control

The main body features controls for temperature, function switching, and a safety lock.

1. Temperature Control

Increase Temperature: Turn the switch to the left (or slide up according to device instructions) to increase water temperature. This operation increases the proportion of hot water.

Decrease Temperature: Turn the switch to the right (or slide down according to device instructions) to decrease water temperature. This operation increases the proportion of cold water.

2. Function Switching

For devices with multiple water output modes (such as rain shower, handheld showerhead, columnar flow, etc.), the direction of the function switch usually determines the selected output mode.

3. Safety Lock

Temperature control devices are equipped with a safety lock feature. It is necessary to unlock first (e.g., by pressing the center part of the switch) before adjusting the temperature, to prevent accidental adjustments to excessively high or low temperatures.
