FAQs

Does this valve come with a shower head?

No, this is a shower valve only. A shower head, hose, and an on/off stop valve need to be purchased separately.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

The minimum recommended water pressure for this valve is 1.0 bar.

How long is the guarantee period?

RAK Ceramics offers a 15-year guarantee on the valve, with serviceable parts covered for 2 years.

Can this valve be used with a bath filler?

This valve is designed for a single shower outlet. It cannot be used to control a bath filler.

What material is the valve made from?

The valve is constructed from high-quality brass.

What are the dimensions of the valve plate?

The shower valve width is 100mm and the height is 100mm.

Is this valve suitable for gravity-fed water systems?

It requires a minimum of 1.0 bar pressure, so it is generally suitable for pumped gravity systems or combi-boilers, but may not perform optimally with very low-pressure gravity systems.

Troubleshooting

No water flow from the shower.

Ensure the separate on/off stop valve is open. Check that the main water supply to the property is on. Verify that the minimum pressure requirement of 1.0 bar is met.

Water temperature fluctuates significantly.

Confirm the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the shower head or its hose. Ensure the hot and cold water supply pressures are balanced and adequate.

Difficulty operating the handle.

Check for any debris around the handle mechanism. If the issue persists, internal components may require servicing; contact a qualified plumber.

Leaking from the valve body.

The valve may require servicing or replacement of internal seals. Given the 2-year serviceable parts cover, contact the manufacturer or a qualified plumber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides consistent and safe water temperatures due to thermostatic control.
  • Offers a sleek, modern look with its concealed and square design.
  • Durable construction using high-quality brass.
  • Long 15-year guarantee offers excellent value and reliability.
  • Easy to operate with a simple square handle.

Cons

  • An on/off stop valve needs to be purchased separately, adding to the overall cost.
  • Concealed installation requires wall access and professional fitting.
  • Limited to a single water outlet.
  • Requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar to function correctly.
  • Serviceable parts are only covered for 2 years, which is shorter than the main guarantee.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed valve, meaning the main body is installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper waterproofing and connections. The valve requires connections for hot and cold water supply and an outlet for the shower head or handset. Remember that an additional on/off stop valve is required and must be fitted separately.

Compatibility: Requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar. It is compatible with most standard plumbing systems, including combi-boilers and pumped gravity systems. It supplies water to a single outlet.

Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal maintenance, the serviceable parts are covered for 2 years, indicating that internal components can be replaced if necessary.
