The Golden is available left or right handed. Low level, step in access for easy entry. Step in threshold is 196 mm (outer). The integral seat allows upright bathing whilst enjoying a deep soak. The textured floor surface helps to eliminate the risk of slipping. This compact design makes excellent use of even the most limited space.
The Golden is supplied with the following components:-
- Bath (LH or RH door opening) with front panel. The End Panel is an optional extra
- Waste kit (2 x plug & chains)
Other Items required (Not supplied)
- Thermostatic Valve (TMV22 for high flow rate). MUST BE INSTALLED IN ALL CASES
- Bath shower mixer.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- The bath is supplied with 4 adjustable feet fitted & has a water capacity of 220 litres (unoccupied) which may require pump assisted taps with a flow rate of 17 litres/min minimum.
- Use only 22mm pipe leads to enhance flow rate.
- Bath is filled only when user has entered and shut door, consequently taps must be thermostatically controlled.
- Installation is similar as for a standard bath except that twin wastes are supplied to increase drainage rate & to ensure the bath can be drained if one waste fails.
- The bath should be installed rigidly to ensure there will be no movement or sagging of the floor when bath is used.
- Consideration should be given to lowering the wastes below the floor level to keep the step threshold to a minimum to assist customer’s ability to step into the bath.
- Use only shallow waste traps.
- If fitting in an alcove ensure the bath freely goes into position (as sideways pressure can distort the doorway).
The Golden is manufactured in glass fibre.
When handling, proceed with care and caution, in particular the bath edges as they are more brittle than acrylic baths.
Standard Fitting Guide.
1) Manoeuvre bath into bathroom carefully.
2) Drill and affix Taps.
3) Fit wastes, overflow and waste traps supplied .
4) Place bath in position and adjust to minimum height.
Note: It is advisable to fix batten runs on to the floor under the bath feet to avoid extending the legs to far & to ensure feet sit squarely and flat. On a wooden floor batten runs (3” x 2” minimum) should be positioned squarely across the floor boards to spread & support the load.
5) Level bath in all planes using the four adjustable feet on the four outer corners only and lock the feet.
6) Mark wall fixings and plumbing runs.
7) Remove bath and run plumbing into position.
8) Re-position bath and fix to the floor using all the four bath feet.
9) Connect plumbing. The wastes may be run independently or joined by use of a tee, inserted after the in line traps. Refer to fitting guides for the Thermostatic valve and Pump if supplied.
10) Test plumbing for leaks and pump operation.
11) Fill bath to maximum and leave for about 30 minutes to test the door seal.
12) While the bath seal is being tested position and trim to size the front and side panels.
13) Mark bottom of panels onto floor base. Fix battens along floor behind panels.
14) Refit front and side panels. Drill through bottom into batten and top into bath wooden frame. Push fit panels onto the retaining clips pre-fitted on the bath. Do not use Silicone sealant as this prevents service access.
15) Silicone bath rims to walls as necessary.
16) Finally drain bath and Leave The Door Open when in use to prevent over compression and the wear out of the seal.
17) Instruct customer on the use of the bath.
- Refer to 'Operating/Care and Maintenance Instructions' and leave copy with customer.
- Do not leave door in locked position on completion. Advise customer that the door should be left unlocked when not in use in order to preserve the seal.
