Product Information

Full details

This Bristan 1901 Exposed Sequential Shower Valve with Rigid Riser Kit is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish, Edwardian-inspired upgrade to their bathroom. Its key benefit is the easy replacement capability due to adjustable inlets, allowing for installation on existing pipework centers. A potential caveat is the preset temperature stop at 42°C, which may require adjustment for users preferring hotter showers. The kit includes a thermostatic cartridge, a rigid riser with an anti-limescale handset, and flow regulators for water efficiency.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I adjust the maximum temperature stop?

Yes, the thermostatic cartridge has a preset temperature stop at 42°C, but this can typically be adjusted to a higher temperature if required. Refer to the product manual for specific adjustment instructions.

What is the purpose of the flow regulators?

The included 8L/min flow regulators are designed to limit the water flow rate, helping to conserve water and reduce energy consumption while still providing an adequate shower experience.

How do I clean the anti-limescale handset?

To clean the handset, gently rub the rub-clean nodules with your finger or a soft cloth. This action dislodges any limescale deposits that may have built up.

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

Bristan typically offers a comprehensive warranty on their shower valves. Please refer to the warranty card included with your product or the Bristan website for specific terms and duration.

What is the minimum and maximum pipework centre compatibility?

The adjustable inlets allow for installation on existing pipework centres ranging from 136mm to 158mm.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

The kit includes the exposed sequential shower valve, a rigid riser, a shower rose, and an anti-limescale handset. You will need standard plumbing tools and materials (e.g., sealant tape, pipe fittings) for connection to your existing water supply.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water from the shower.

Check that the main water supply is turned on and that the isolation valves to the shower are open. Ensure there are no blockages in the pipework.

Water temperature is too hot or too cold.

Verify that the handles are set correctly for hot and cold. If the temperature is consistently too hot, check if the preset temperature stop has been bypassed or if the cartridge needs adjustment (refer to the full manual). If too cold, ensure adequate hot water supply.

Low water flow from the shower head or handset.

Check for limescale buildup on the shower head and handset nozzles; clean by rubbing. Ensure the flow regulators are correctly installed and not blocked. Check for any kinks or blockages in the shower hose or riser pipe.

Leaking from the valve or connections.

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If leaking from the valve body, the internal cartridge may need replacement or servicing. Check the condition of any seals or washers.
