FAQs
What is the main benefit of the thermostatic control?
The thermostatic control maintains your desired water temperature within a narrow range (+/- 2-3°C), even if water pressure fluctuates due to other appliances being used. This ensures a safe and comfortable shower.
Is this valve suitable for hard water areas?
Yes, the valve features a patented cartridge that is highly resistant to calcium build-up, making it suitable for hard water areas and reducing maintenance requirements.
Can I install this myself if my hot and cold pipes are reversed?
Yes, the valve has a reversible cartridge. If the hot and cold supplies are incorrectly connected, the cartridge can be removed, rotated 180 degrees, and replaced to correct the flow.
What types of water systems is this valve compatible with?
It is compatible with all water systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, unvented high-pressure, and combi-boiler systems.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to prevent damage to the surface.
What is the warranty period for this shower valve?
The product comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided it is installed and used according to instructions.
What are the dimensions of the shower valve?
The dimensions of the shower valve are 120mm (width) x 280mm (height) x 124mm (depth).
Troubleshooting
Shower temperature is inconsistent.
Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Check for any debris in the filters. Verify that water pressures are within the recommended operating range for the valve.
Low water flow.
Check the shower head for blockages. Ensure the stopcocks feeding the valve are fully open. Clean any filters within the valve system if accessible and advised by the manual.
Valve is difficult to operate.
If the handle is stiff, it may indicate limescale build-up. Consult the manufacturer's guide for specific cleaning or cartridge replacement procedures. Ensure correct installation alignment.
No hot or cold water supply.
Check the main water supply to the property and the individual hot and cold feeds to the shower valve. Ensure no isolation valves are closed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Due to its concealed nature, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended. Ensure all connections are made according to the manufacturer's instructions and local plumbing regulations. The reversible cartridge simplifies installation, allowing for a 180-degree rotation if initial hot and cold connections are reversed.
Compatibility: This valve is compatible with all standard water systems, including:
- Gravity-fed systems
- Pumped systems
- Unvented high-pressure systems
- Fully modulated combi-boilers
Care: To maintain the luxury chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For internal components, the calcium-resistant cartridge minimizes build-up, but regular checks and cleaning as per the manufacturer's manual are advised, especially in very hard water areas, to ensure continued optimal performance.
