Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the TDRD02 is straightforward for those comfortable with basic plumbing. Ensure the existing shower arm is clean and free of debris before attaching the head. The 1/2 inch BSP connection should be hand-tightened onto the arm, taking care not to overtighten and damage the internal washer. Always use an appropriate sealant or plumber's tape if required to prevent leaks. To keep the shower head looking its best and performing at its peak, perform regular maintenance by gently rubbing the silicone nozzles with your thumb or a soft cloth to dislodge limescale. Do not use abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these may damage the polished finish, which is manufactured to BS EN 248 standards for durability.
