Info
“Flexa Twin” shower enclosures are available in the following models: ELT10 - ELT11 and ST2l. For further information regard- ing the functions for each separate model, please see the price list and main catalogue.
Flexa Twin is formed of elements that are dispatched in three packages:
•hydromassage tub and transparent roof (the roof is optional in version ST2)
•
•glass panes (a fixed one and a sliding one), with guides and profiles
IMPORTANT: check that the goods are intact on arrival, so that any claim made to the forwarding agent will be prompt.
It can only be installed in a corner, with a finished (tiled) wall hav- ing no skirting board.
For maintenance operations, it will be necessary to remove the front panel of the tub and/or shower enclosure inspection panel: so a free space of at least 50 cm must be left in order to facilitate work (✐ 1a).
It is important to make sure that the preparations that have been made comply with the indications given in the
Preparation of water and power connections
For a correct operation of the apparatus, it is necessary to ensure the required flow rate and pressure of the hot and cold water (see the table with the technical specifications and dimensions).
You must provide a single pair of wall outlets for hot and cold water (copper pipe, Ø 14 mm): they must protrude and end with a down- ward 90° elbow (1/2” M) (✐ 2). These outlets will be connected to the flexible pipes coming from the mixer tap assembly (in a model with
The drain on the floor (or on the wall, flush with the floor) must be placed at the correct distance from the drain hole of the tub, depending on the siphon to be fitted (not supplied) (✐ 2).
If you wish to connect an ELT model to an alarm circuit, you will need to provide the necessary connection.
Models equipped with a telephone require the preparation of a chase in the wall or an external channel for the passage of the supplied telephone cable. This cable is already connected inside the “telephone box” (see electric diagram) and a length of approx. 10 metres should be left for connection to the telephone socket to be provided by the Customer.
Provision must be made also for the connection of the electric box (which is fastened to the framework of the tub: see ✐ 2) to
the electric network and to the earth system. The cable may be routed in several ways, provided there are no loose junctions: see the “Electric safety” chapter.
Installation of tub
Remove the roof from the package containing the tub, and set it aside temporarily.
Place the tub in the position provided, and make sure that it is perfectly horizontal and at a height of 57 cm from the floor, by operating all the feet (central ones and external ones: ✐ 3, details 1 and 2).
Mark the position of one hole for each foot on the floor, shift the tub, bore the floor, and insert the screw anchors provided (✐ 3, detail 2).
Check the perpendicularity of the walls, in order to ensure a cor- rect assembly of the parts. The compensators fitted at the ends of the glass panes can compensate for up to 5 mm. If there is a con- siderable perpendicularity error in the walls, you can correct it by means of spacers made of wood or other materials, moving the tub away from the wall, if necessary (✐ 4).
Before you begin the assembly operations, make sure that the tub is in working order, and check it for leakage, particularly in points that cannot be reached by only removing the front panel.
Installation of fitted-out wall
Move the tub away from the corner as much as you need to be able to work easily.
Apply a small amount of silicone around the holes, as shown in ✐ 5.
Open the package that contains the walls, set the wall with mirror aside, and take the
The package contains a little bag with all the screws you will need for assembly.
Position the
From under the tub edge, mount the screws and washers, with- out tightening them completely (✐ 6, details 1 and 2).
Connect the waterfall pipe to the pipe fitting on the tub (✐ 7).
Connect the flexible pipe coming from the mixer tap assembly to the pipe fitting of the filling tap (✐ 8).
Using a metal band, connect the silicone pipe of the boiler outlet to the fitting that is already connected to the tub drain ✐ 9,
detail 1.
Connect pipe (A) of the steam outlet in the tub (✐ 9, detail 3) to the other pipe fitting on the tub rim (detail 2).
