The RAK Ceramics Washington Thermostatic Shower Valve with Bath Spout and Shower Kit is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of classic aesthetics and modern thermostatic control in their bathroom. Its key benefit is providing a reliable and safe showering experience with consistent water temperature. A potential consideration is that it's an exposed mounting system, which requires specific installation considerations. This comprehensive kit includes a thermostatic shower valve, a rigid riser kit, a traditional chrome round shower head, a handset, and a bath spout, all finished in polished chrome.

The RAK Ceramics Washington Thermostatic Shower Valve comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
While the valve itself is robust, it performs best with adequate water pressure. Please refer to the product specifications for minimum pressure requirements. If you have very low pressure, a compatible shower pump might be necessary.
It is recommended to use only a soft, damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as they can damage the chrome finish.
The kit includes the thermostatic shower valve, rigid riser kit, round shower head, handset, and bath spout. However, basic plumbing fittings and tools for connection to your existing water supply are typically not included and may be required.
This model typically features a diverter, often integrated into the controls or a separate handle, that allows you to switch the water flow between the bath spout and the shower handset/overhead rose.
The shower valve is manufactured from high-quality Brass Material.
This is an exposed shower valve, meaning the valve body and associated pipework are mounted on the surface of the wall.
Check that both hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and turned on. Ensure adequate hot water supply capacity and that the thermostatic valve has not been set incorrectly. If the issue persists, there may be a blockage in the hot water inlet or the thermostatic element may require servicing.
Inspect the shower head, handset, and any filters for limescale buildup or debris. Clean them according to the care instructions. Ensure there are no kinks in the shower hose and check that the main water supply valves are fully open. Low system water pressure could also be a factor.
Gently tighten any loose connections. If leaking persists, turn off the water supply and inspect the seals and washers at the connection points. Damaged or worn seals may need replacing. Professional assessment may be required.
Ensure the diverter for the shower/bath spout is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages within the spout itself. Verify that the water pressure is sufficient for both showering and bath filling functions.
Setup:
This shower valve is designed for exposed mounting, meaning the valve body and pipework are visible on the wall surface. Ensure your existing plumbing is compatible with an exposed valve system. Follow the included manufacturer's instructions carefully for connecting hot and cold water supplies and attaching the rigid riser, shower head, handset, and bath spout. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct and safe plumbing connections.
Compatibility:
This valve requires a minimum water pressure for optimal performance. It is generally compatible with standard UK plumbing systems (hot and cold water mains supply). Check the specific water pressure requirements in the product manual.
Care:
To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks.
