PRD replacement on a Triton shower?

Jon_01

Ok, I've done this in the past with other showers and it's a ten minute job.

But I can't see how Trition expect this to be done on the model?

Image below:

So. remove the 2 screws in red to allow the output pipe to move.

The PRD is on the back of the output pipe. Highlighted in blue.

With the screws removed, the pipe will only move up and down by 2mm.

It extends out of the case by 8mm and the collar from the heater is also 8mm, so there's not enough movement to remove it.

The base of the case is a hole, not a slot as in most showers, so I can't ease it forward to get it out.

The pipe can't be twisted round to access the PRD as the ears from the screws prevent it turning.

It looks like the only way to get at the back of the pipe is to take the whole thing apart!

Can anyone see anything I've missed?

Exact model and a better picture/photo would help.

Doesn't the whole bottom third of the surrounding casing pull off?
There appears to be a joint roughly a third of the way up the LH side, and slightly higher on the RIght.

You generally can't twist pipes especially 180 degrees as that breaks them 


Also what thisisweird said is correct you can remove the bottom third for ease of installation although in your case you will need to disconnect and remove the shower from the wall to access the back 

Why are you replacing the PRD anyway? (Just curious)

Yes but that doesn't help me seeing it....

Well, this was just to demonstrate that it's long. Use some other browser or hardware.

Back view - if this is of any help. I don't see the PRD and I think the only way to reach it is by pulling the outlet part forward and down. You can also unscrew fully or partly some other parts - the heater and the inlet with flow control.
