Items to note
Important information about the replacement shower results
Mixer Shower Replacement Information
Recommended replacement showers are based on the distance between the hot and cold water inlet pipes and the valve type. This is to limit disruption to your tiles, wall and current plumbing. Unless you are replacing with the exact same model, several factors will need to be considered:
- Possible new screw holes for the shower fittings kit
- Possible shortening or lengthening of supply pipe going in to the shower
- If your supply pipes are reversed
- Alterations to plumbing connections e.g. 15mm compression, ½” BSP
- Alterations to walls and building in depth
- Whether you require single control or separate flow and temperature control
Should you need any further information or if there are no replacements available for your current shower, we recommend you contact our Customer Service team for advice. Alternatively, contact your installer.
Electric Shower Replacement Information
Recommended replacement showers are based on same side water and electrical entry points (i.e. left hand or right hand), the kW rating and water supply. All recommended replacement showers are based on models with the same or similar footprint to minimise cosmetic differences. Where it is not possible to replace with the exact same model, several factors will need to be considered:
- Possible new screw holes for both the shower unit and fittings kit
- Possible alterations to electric and water inlet connections
- Whether you require a thermostatically controlled shower
- Water hardness level
- If you are thinking of increasing the kW rating of your shower the installation will need to be inspected by a Part P registered Electrician and your shower circuit may need upgrading, as necessary.
Your shower circuit will also require protecting by a Residual Current Device (RCD) or similar
Should you need any further information or if there are no replacements available for your current shower, we recommend you contact our Customer Service team for advice. Alternatively, contact your installer.
Power Shower Replacement Information
The recommended replacement shower has larger dimensions allowing for marks/holes left by previous shower to be concealed. We have also taken into consideration the distance between the hot and cold-water inlet pipes. Unless you are replacing with the exact same model, several factors will need to be considered:
- Possible new screw holes for both the shower unit and fittings kit
- Whether you require a thermostatically controlled shower
- If you are upgrading your water system from gravity fed storage tanks to a mains fed system such as a Combination Boiler, a power shower is no longer suitable.
- Your shower circuit will also require protecting by a Residual Current Device (RCD) or similar
Should you need any further information or if there are no replacements available for your current shower, we recommend you contact our Customer Service team for advice. Alternatively, contact your installer.
