Hints and Tips Choosing Your Shower When choosing a handshower, first make sure of the water pressure at the residence. If it is mains pressure you can choose any Gracott Handshower. If you have low water pressure, purchase a Gracott handshower suitable for low water pressures. You can choose your very own combination of Gracott Handshowers, Rail Showers or Wall Showers by interchanging any of the Handshowers, Rails or Wall Brackets to suit your own particular requirement. You can also interchange any of the Wallshowers and Arms. If you need help in this regard, speak to your store representative or contact Gracott direct and we will be only too glad to help you. For gravity feed hot water systems, or if you are on tank water without a pressure pump, use only a Gracott All Water Pressure unit or a unit specially recommended for low water pressures. Before purchasing a handshower with a bracket that screws directly onto your water outlet (eliminating the need to drill tiles) and shower arms that come straight out of the wall outlet, check the height of the outlet to see that you could shower comfortably under it. Sometimes the outlet is low and some units may not be suitable. You may have to purchase a Gracott handshower on rail or an upswept shower arm to give you the extra height needed. Installation Tips When installing a handshower remember the round nut on the hose fits at the wall end, either on the supply elbow or bracket. The tapered hose nut screws onto your handset, so that it slots into the cradle of your bracket or rail holder. Always make sure a supply elbow is used at the wall outlet or a bracket that screws directly onto the wall outlet. The hose should always be fitted to one of these units. A hose should never be fitted directly onto the wall outlet as this will cause undue pressure on the hose. General Hints and Tips If your cold water overrides your hot water, simply fit a restrictor tap valve in your cold water tap and this will balance out your pressure problem. Restrictor tap valves are available from any plumbing or hardware store. If you notice water leaking out where the hose nut connects to the handshower or the bracket outlet, it may only mean that the washers are not sitting correctly. A simple adjustment to the washers may solve the problem.
