How to Replace a Stuart Turner Showermate S1.5 (UK)
Fit a Stuart Turner Showermate S1.5 pump on a UK heating or boosted DHW system. Face-to-face, orientation, bleed sequence.
The pump
Stuart Turner Showermate S1.5 — confirm 130 mm or 180 mm face-to-face, and whether your system is single-phase 230 V or low-voltage.
Isolate
Turn off the boiler and 230 V spur. Close both pump gate valves. Have a shallow tray ready — approx 500 mL will spill.
Fit
Undo the pump unions, transfer the power lead terminating L/N/E in the correct order into the Stuart Turner Showermate S1.5 terminal box. Orient the pump head so the shaft is horizontal. Open valves, bleed via the centre screw until water flows clear.
Set the Stuart Turner Showermate S1.5 to the correct speed or auto-adapt curve per the OEM installer sheet.
