Electric Shower Replacement - Triton Opal

[shivy]

Good evening,
My Opal Triton packed up.
I don't want to be doing any adjustments when installing a new one so am looking for a compatible one (on electrical point and plumbing side).
Need either to replace it with another Opal or as Triton suggested a Martinique.
What other brands and models you think would fit on the same place ?
Thank you for your kind help.

do you know what side the plumbing/electrics are on?

virtually all redring and mira showers have the connections on the RHS,

thats mainly what I fit, sorry I cant be of help with your particular model,

please also remember that the KW rating will matter as well if you are unsure/dont know the size of your electric supply/cable to your current shower.

I often fit Wickes own brand showers, which are Triton made, but with Wickes name on them, only a lot cheaper than if they had the Triton name on them.

I do think it's a shame that it's virtually impossible when looking at catalogues, to find out where the water inlet position is, to enable you to work out which one will fit without major alterations.

Maybe try Google Images, there's loads of schematic diagrams that might help find something similar configured.

on marvo's link it appears to be RHS inlet and electrical,

what sort of budget do you have shivy ?

T80gsi 8.5kw

T80gsi 9.5kw 

http://www.screwfix.com/p/triton-t80gsi-manual-electric-shower-white-9-5kw/45546?_requestid=693708

All have an adjustable water inlet connections that can be pivoted to the left or the right...

In most cases its the water pipe coming through the wall  that governs the best place to fit the shower..

Assuming the pipes are hidden in the wall & not run surface????
