Installing An Electric Shower
Written by Scott Rodgers on March 14th, 2010
Every home owner would love to have a beautiful bathroom built with a nice toilet, sink, mirror, and not to miss, a great shower. There are plenty types of shower available in the market but to get one that is easy to install, saves money and excels in performance, electric shower is one of the best choices around.
Since, these slash down the water and electricity consumption in house, these are probably the best.
Fitting the shower is relatively easy although it is recommended that you get a qualified electrician to wire it up to the electricity supply. Follow the steps to install an electric shower. Decide on the position for the shower unit and handset. Mark the position of the unit’s fixing holes on the wall. Check that the marks and drill the fixing holes.
Drill a 1/2 inch hole in the shower wall to fit the copper branch pipe that will connect the shower head to the main water valve. Through the hole, the pipe is pushed. Measure and cut the pipe length to the proper size. Fit a stopcock to the end of the branch pipe.
T- joint is then to be connected into the rising main of the pluming. Connect the T- joint with the stopcock to join the branch pipe with the main valve. For this measure and cut an extra piece of connecting pipe if necessary. Secure all the plumbing and joints with the cap nuts. At last mount the shower unit.
Next step is to provide power to the shower unit. In order to mount the pull switch, drill a hole in the ceiling. The cable is run from the consumer unit through the property to a suitable pull switch inside the bathroom and on to the electric shower. Cable of length 6 inches should be left at the switch position.
Attach the pull-switch back plate and strip the excess cable at the switch position, revealing one black wire, one red wire and a group of bare wires. Twist the bare wires together attaching them to the “E” terminal, the red wire to the “L” terminal and the black wire to the “N” terminal of the pull switch.
Do the same on the shower unit end. The wires located on the shower unit should be connected to the main terminals of the pull switch. Connect the red, black and bare wires to “L”, “N” and “E” terminals respectively.
