FAQs

What is the main advantage of a thermostatic shower valve?

The main advantage is precise temperature control. It maintains a set temperature, preventing sudden, potentially dangerous fluctuations in water heat, which is crucial for safety and comfort.

Can this valve be used with a combi boiler system?

Yes, this valve is generally compatible with combi boiler systems, provided the system can supply adequate hot and cold water flow rates to meet the valve's requirements. It's always best to check the minimum flow rate requirements against your boiler's output.

How do I clean the silver chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can damage the finish. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Is this valve suitable for a power shower system?

This valve is designed for standard UK water systems. Compatibility with power shower systems depends on the system's pressure and flow rate. Consult a professional installer to confirm suitability.

What does 'concealed' mean in this context?

Concealed means that the main body of the valve is installed within the wall, with only the controls and trim plate visible on the bathroom surface. This provides a cleaner, more modern look.

What is the manufacturer's guarantee period?

The product comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I install this myself?

Due to its concealed nature, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting, prevent leaks, and maintain the warranty.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water from the shower

Check that the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open and connected correctly to the mixer. Ensure no isolation valves are closed.

Temperature is not stable or fluctuates significantly

Verify that the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no issues with hot or cold water supply pressure. Sediment buildup can also affect performance; consider flushing the system.

Difficulty switching between showerhead and bath filler

Check the diverter mechanism for blockages or damage. Ensure the control dial for the diverter is operating smoothly.

Low water flow from outlets

Clean the aerators on the showerhead and bath filler. Check for any blockages within the valve or connecting pipes. Ensure water supply pressures are adequate.

Leaking from the valve or handles

The internal seals or O-rings may need replacement. This typically requires removing the handles and accessing the internal components. Professional servicing may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise and stable water temperature for enhanced safety and comfort.
  • Modern aesthetic with a durable chrome-plated brass construction.
  • Flexible installation options suitable for various bathroom setups.
  • Easy to operate with distinct controls for temperature and flow/diverter.
  • Concealed design contributes to a streamlined and uncluttered bathroom appearance.

Cons

  • Requires concealed installation, which may involve more complex fitting than surface-mounted valves.
  • Two separate controls for temperature and water flow/diverter might have a slight learning curve.
  • Weight of 22 lbs suggests a robust build, but handling during installation needs care.
  • Specific compatibility might require checking existing plumbing configurations.
  • Not suitable for users seeking a simple, surface-mounted mixer replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a concealed thermostatic valve, meaning the main body is installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation is highly recommended due to the nature of concealed plumbing.

  1. Ensure the wall cavity is prepared according to the valve's rough-in requirements.
  2. Connect hot and cold water supplies to the appropriate inlets.
  3. Install the valve body securely within the wall.
  4. Attach the external trim, including the three dials and any associated pipework for the showerhead and bath filler.
  5. Test for leaks before final finishing of the wall.

Compatibility:

  • Designed with UK standard size fittings, ensuring compatibility with most common plumbing systems in the United Kingdom.
  • Requires a water system capable of providing adequate hot and cold water pressure for optimal performance. Check minimum pressure requirements if available.
  • Suitable for use with most standard showerheads and bath fillers.

Care:

  • Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the chrome surface.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage.
