Installation Instructions

Panel Riser Kit


Option 3

226BEG 0117CH
Before you Start
Please read these instructions fully before starting. Although these instructions
are comprehensive we always recommend that a technically competent installer
undertake the installation.
Your Panel Riser Kit (Option 3) is intended as a basic general purpose raised installation
kit and may fit a number of different shower tray sizes, quads and offset quads up
to 1200mm having a 550 radius as a consequence the instructions MUST be read in
conjunction with any and all instructions supplied with your chosen shower tray.
Note! This kit cannot be used on squares, rectangles and pentangle trays. If in doubt on
the suitability of this kit for your chosen shower tray, please contact your supplier who
will be able to help you.

For quadrant shower trays with one or more dimensions longer than 1200mm and up to
1400mm in length an option 4 panel kit is required.

Important
Before you start, check the pack and ensure that you have all of the parts listed. If there is
a problem please contact your supplier.
Make sure that you have the right tools and materials to hand with plenty of space and a
clean dry area for assembly.
When handling your shower tray take care not to damage the bottom edges and
when installing take particular care to protect the visible surfaces from impact
damage or abrasions.

Safety Notes
Caution: Care must be taken when drilling into walls or floors to avoid hidden pipes
or electrical cables.
