Wrong Triton shower unit

[TryAgain1]

Got a Triton easi fit + thermostatic 8.5kw shower from screwfix. Then took the front panel off. The inlet water swivel is replaced by this fixed plastic. My guess is I got the wrong unit. No idea how to install. Pic attached. Any ideas?

If the box states it's swivel type, then it's been sold not as described and can be returned. Otherwise alter the pipework.

the swivel is on the none thermostatic model
If you need the water to go in on right hand side then the plug needs removed and fitted into other side

Looks like you have this one, there should be a model number on it somewhere, https://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/amfile/file/download/file/304/product/1897/

I've got (in Cork) a 9kW, Triton T80Z Fast-Fit, don't know if they are sold in the UK but very easy to install, maybe the easi-fit is its equivalent in the UK?.

AI informs me.....

The Core Difference: Easi-Fit vs. Fast-Fit
While both models are designed by Triton specifically to replace older, broken showers without requiring you to re-tile or alter your existing bathroom pipework, they handle internal plumbing and wiring setups slightly differently: [, 2]

• Triton T80 Easi-Fit / Easi-Fit+: Features Triton's specialized Swivel-Fit™ water inlet (a 180° fully reversible internal elbow that pivots to connect easily to pipes coming from either the left or right side) and a Swing-Fit™ terminal block that moves to accept electrical cables from either side. It is widely available at major national UK trade retailers like Screwfix and Toolstation. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Triton T80Z Fast-Fit: Utilizes a slightly alternative internal footprint featuring 8 dedicated water entry points and 6 distinct cable entry points spread across the left, right, top, bottom, and rear of the casing. [1]

Which one replaces what?

• If you are replacing an old Triton T80si, T80xr, or standard T80z, Triton lists the T80 Easi-Fit line as the optimal, closest direct-fit replacement currently on the UK market. [1]
