Installation Manual for Insignia 1200R ECOnomy Shower

Quick guide from the manual

This manual provides instructions for the DIY installation of the Insignia 1200R ECOnomy Shower. Before beginning, ensure you have checked all contents against the box list. Do not book a tradesman until all parts have arrived and been checked. The shower requires a water pressure between 2.5 and 3.4 BAR. If you have a gravity-fed system, you will likely need a pump. Always use flexible braided water inlet pipes (not supplied) and never use rigid pipes or glue for waste connections.

Installation Preparation

Before starting the build, ensure you have the following tools: Philips screwdriver, electric drill, spirit level, tape measure, scissors, knife, safety gloves, and safety glasses. You will also need to purchase flexible braided hoses and isolation valves for the hot and cold water supply.

Assembly Steps

The assembly process follows these key stages:

• Tray and Waste: Level the tray and connect the waste using a 40mm compression joint. Do not use glued joints.
• Framework: Connect the framework using the provided securing clips. Ensure the wider rail is on top and the narrow rail is at the bottom.
• Sealing: Apply the supplied RubberGum to the raised sections of the tray. Press the frame firmly onto the RubberGum.
• Panels and Column: Connect the back panels and the column. Do not screw the back panels directly to the tray.
• Glass and Roof: Install the fixed glass panels, glass seals, and the roof.
• Doors: Fit the door wheels and handles.
• Accessories: Install the hand shower and shelf.

Water Connections

Connect the hot and cold water supplies to the valve. Ensure all connections are watertight. If you have a steam version, ensure the steam generator connection is secure. Use the provided washers on the back of the valve.

Signing off your shower

Once assembled, perform the following checks:

1. Ensure all connections are watertight, including waste, body jets, and hoses.
2. Test shower functions by switching on the overhead shower, then the hand shower, and finally the body jets.
3. Check for leaks while the water is running.
4. Visually verify water flow to the waste and adjust tray feet if necessary.
5. Cut off any excess RubberGum that has squeezed out using a sharp knife.
6. Push the shower into its final position. Never push the glass or frame.

Safety Guide

Never leave children unattended in the shower. The steam function is for adults only. If you feel dizzy or faint, exit the steam room immediately. Consult a GP before use if you are pregnant, have heart conditions, high/low blood pressure, or are on medication. Always turn off the power and water supply after use.
