FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the shower head?
The dimensions of this product are 45mm (width) x 95mm (height) x 45mm (depth).
Is this shower head adjustable?
No, this is a fixed head shower, meaning it does not have adjustable spray angles or positions.
What makes this shower head 'anti-vandal'?
The anti-vandal design means it is constructed from robust materials and has a fixed, tamper-resistant form factor, making it difficult to damage or remove in public or high-traffic areas.
How do I clean the shower head to maintain its finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
Does this come with the concealed valve?
This product is the concealed fixed head itself. The associated concealed valve and necessary plumbing are typically sold separately and require professional installation.
What is the material of the shower head?
It is made from high-quality materials designed to be stain and rust resistant, suitable for commercial applications.
Can I use this in a domestic bathroom?
Yes, while designed for commercial use due to its durability, it can certainly be used in a domestic bathroom, especially if you desire a very robust and low-maintenance fixture.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure
Check if the main water supply is fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the pipework behind the wall. Clean any aerator or flow restrictor if accessible (though this model is fixed).
Water leaking from the connection point
Tighten the shower arm connection. If the leak persists, the seal within the concealed valve or shower arm may need replacing, which typically requires partial disassembly and professional attention.
Surface discoloration or staining
Wipe immediately with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for chrome finishes and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a concealed head, meaning the primary water connection and plumbing are hidden behind the wall. Installation typically involves connecting the concealed valve and pipework to the water supply, followed by attaching the external fixed head to the shower arm. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct concealment and water-tight connections.
Compatibility: Designed to work with standard concealed shower valve systems. Ensure your existing plumbing is compatible with concealed shower fittings. The shower arm thread should be standard.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the shower head regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn limescale, use a mild vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly.
