Product Information

Full details

This ENKI Edwardian Concealed Thermostatic Shower Mixer is designed for users seeking a high-quality, dual-outlet shower experience with enhanced safety and easy maintenance. Its key benefit is the precise temperature control and anti-scald protection, ensuring a consistent and safe shower. A caveat is its requirement for a minimum water pressure of 0.1 bar, with 0.5-1.0 bar recommended for optimal performance. This solid brass valve allows for flexible use with combinations like a rain shower and handheld shower, or a bath filler and shower, offering a premium, concealed look.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower mixer?

A minimum of 0.1 bar is required for the shower mixer to operate. For the best performance and a more robust shower experience, a water pressure of 0.5 bar to 1.0 bar is recommended.

Can this mixer be used with a single shower outlet?

Yes, while designed for two outlets, it can be used with a single outlet. One of the outlet controls simply would not be connected or used.

Does this product come with the shower heads or bath filler?

No, this product is the concealed thermostatic shower mixer valve unit itself. Shower heads, bath fillers, and other visible shower components are sold separately.

How do I clean the ENKI Edwardian Concealed Thermostatic Shower Mixer?

Clean the visible parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.

What does 'concealed' mean in the product name?

'Concealed' means that the main body of the valve is installed within the wall, leaving only the decorative front plate and controls visible in the bathroom. This provides a sleek and modern look.

What is the warranty period for this shower mixer?

The ENKI Edwardian Concealed Thermostatic Shower Mixer comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Is it possible to service the valve without re-plumbing the entire shower?

Yes, the valve is specifically designed so that if maintenance is required, individual components can be accessed and serviced without the need to re-plumb the entire system.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or inconsistent temperature

Check that the hot water supply is functioning correctly and that the water pressure meets the minimum requirements (0.1 bar, ideally 0.5-1.0 bar). Ensure the thermostatic control dial is set to the desired temperature.

Low water flow from outlets

Verify that the water pressure is sufficient for the system. Check for any blockages in the pipework or at the shower outlets themselves. Ensure the diverter is functioning correctly if using multiple outlets.

Water continues to drip from an outlet when off

This may indicate a worn seal or a blockage within the valve mechanism. Maintenance may be required on the internal valve components. Consult the technical diagram for accessing internal parts.

Valve is difficult to operate

Ensure there are no obstructions around the dials. If stiff, there might be limescale build-up. Gentle cleaning with a mild descaler may help, or internal maintenance might be necessary.

Anti-scald device activates unexpectedly

This is a safety feature. It could activate if there's a significant drop in cold water pressure. Check your main cold water supply. Ensure the valve is correctly installed and that the temperature dial is not set excessively high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation: This mixer is designed for concealed installation. Ensure the wall cavity is adequately sized for the valve. Follow the included technical drawings for precise fitting.
Connections: Connect the 3/4" hot and cold water inlets, ensuring the built-in non-return valves are correctly oriented. Connect the 1/2" outlets to your chosen shower components (e.g., shower arms, bath fillers).
Mounting: The valve must be mounted vertically, indicated by laser markings on the front plate.

Compatibility:

Water Pressure: Requires a minimum of 0.1 bar, with 0.5 bar recommended for good performance and 1.0 bar for optimal performance.
System Types: Compatible with combination boiler systems, gravity-fed systems (requires a pump), Megaflow systems, pumped hot water systems, un-vented hot water systems, and standard pressurized hot water cylinder systems.
Outlets: Designed to work with any combination of two outlets (e.g., rain shower + handheld, bath filler + shower, massagers).

Care:

Clean the visible components (front plate, dials) with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Periodically check connections for leaks. If maintenance is required on the valve internals, individual components can be accessed without full re-plumbing.
