Connect the wire to the connector. Makesure the wire secure tight with the screw connector. Cost this heater run at high watt when max. Otherwise the connector will heat up and kaboom.


I put an additional silicon to seal the wire intake hole. Cause the heater from the shower head is a bit near. This is to prevent the water from sipping in and kaboom the heater.


Done for the wiring. Now the plumbing side. I have place the elbow to the inlet heater valve. So I can measure the vertical pipe lenght that need to be cut.


Use sand paper to clean every fitting and pipe that need to be glue. This will clean up the oil and dirt. So the glue can melt the pvc pipe securely. Wipe with clean cloth.


Tape the screw fitting with white seal tape.


The vertical pipe is temporary insert in. Now use the elbow to mark the lenght of the pipe to be cut. Glue all together. In this step, you need to act fast. The glue will cure fast. Plan which fitting to go in first and how to fit in together. Than apply the glue.


The plumbing done. Wait for 1/2hr or longer for the glue to harden. It actually need 24hr to be harden. But since the water pressure not that high, 1/2hr should be alright.


Open back the stop cock. Check for any water leakage. Than turn the heater valve to open. Let the water flow out from the shower head. Check any leakage in the heater side joint. This is important to makesure no water leak out internal. Any water leak, disamssembly it and take the heater to claim. Close the valve and put back the heater cover.


Switch ON the heater switch. Than reset the RCD. If the RCD trip, switch OFF and check the wiring.If everything OK, the heater light will ON.

Don't run the heater first. Push the test button at the heater to check the heater RCD function or not. All this checking is to makesure the safety device function properly.



After all the checking is done, run the heater. Open the valve. The motor will start to run. The strong of the water flow is adjust at the left of the heater. (pump speed) Than turn the heater knob slowly. Wait 1min for the hot water to comeout. Let the heater run for 15-20min to check for any problem.


To turn OFF the heater, turn the heater knob OFF. Wait for the cold water flow out. Than close the valve. The pump will off. I always use this way so the next person use won't get burn. And also prolong the heater lifespan.

Happy happy shower.

Used PVC bigger size via smaller size of stainless steel or PVC pipe got water pressure different?

Nope. This is the end piping to the heater. so no different. Need bigger pipe size from the beginning tank side.

Standard plumbing rule for house is 1/2". While the main is 3/4".

Noted..

Unless you buy nut reducing

What nut reducing?

Thumb of rule, 1/2" is standard plumbing for inside house. Otherwise you have problem with all your tap, faucet, shower head...etc. Use bigger size pipe if you plan properly and understand what you do.

Hmm wait go back home take photo to show u

He he just found my neighbor sg he also used it S/S look more nicer.

Frankly speaking, it is not really nice. Those flexible hose tangling around at below is a mess. Not your neighbour, even my 1.

I prefer the mixer type with everything running inside the wall.

I find it messy.

This one champion

You are right cause you see too many pipes akraady.
But for our bro ozak can simple used the shorter one, look more nicer or rather than used grey color PVC pipe
