Electrical Shower And Its Installation Method

Electric showers are a very economical way of washing, the amount of water used is about a third of that used by having a bath and the shower only heats the correct amount of water so there is no heating of water that you will not use.

Electric showers are being widely used because of their quality, convenience and have better impressions than other types of showers.

The article familiarizes you with the stepwise procedure to install the electric shower in the right manner. Determine the place where you want to install the shower unit. Mark the place and drill pilot holes in the wall. To mark the place on the wall, remove the backing of the shower unit and use that as a template.

Before fixing the unit in place, drill any holes through the wall or ceiling needed for pipes and cable. Also drill and fit the wall bracket or sliding rail for the shower handset. To attach the copper pipe to the rising main, first turn off the main stopcock and run the cold tap dry.

You make the mains connection using a 15mm compression tee fixing. Cut out a section from the mains pipe just long enough to accommodate the tee fitting. Insert your new pipe into the third arm of the tee fitting and fit a stop valve at a convenient point before running the pipe work all the way to the unit.

Now to make electrical connections for the shower, make a hole in the ceiling between joists where you will mount the pull-switch. Attach the mounting board on which you will fasten the pull-switch back plate. Run a piece of circuit cable up to the ceiling, running it through the mounting board. Leave at least 6 inches of excess cable at the switch position.

Connect one end of the cable leading to the heater to the second block of terminals in the switch face-plate: the red core to the live terminal (L); the black core to the Neutral (N) terminal. Connect the yellow-and-green core to the same Earth terminal (E) that the Earth core from the consumer unit cable is connected to.

Connect the supply cable running from the consumer unit to terminals in the switch face-plate. Connect the red core to the live terminal (L); the black core to the Neutral (N) terminal; the yellow-and-green core to the Earth terminal (E).
