FAQs

What does TMV2 approval mean?

TMV2 approval signifies that the valve has met rigorous performance and safety standards set by the Buildcert TMV2 Scheme, ensuring accurate temperature control and safety against scalding.

Can this valve be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, the Rada V10 is designed to work with various water systems, including those fed by combi boilers, provided the system meets the minimum pressure requirements.

How do I adjust the temperature?

The valve features a single sequential handle. Turn the handle to control flow, and move it further to adjust the water temperature from cold to hot.

What is the purpose of the flow regulators?

The included 6 l/min and 9 l/min flow regulators help reduce water consumption, contributing to water saving and potentially lower utility bills without significantly compromising the showering experience.

Is this valve suitable for domestic bathrooms?

While suitable for semi-domestic applications, its primary design is for commercial and public use due to its robust construction and TMV2 approval. However, it can certainly be installed in a domestic setting for enhanced safety.

What maintenance is required?

Regular checks for leaks and cleaning of external parts with a damp cloth are recommended. Internal components like filters may require periodic cleaning by a qualified professional.

What happens if the cold water supply fails?

In the event of a cold water supply failure, the valve is designed to automatically shut off the water supply to prevent scalding.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and functioning. Check for any blockages in the filters or the valve itself. Verify that the thermostatic mechanism is functioning correctly; professional servicing may be required.

Low water flow

Check for blockages in the showerhead, hoses, or within the valve. Ensure the optional flow regulator is correctly installed or consider removing it if not needed. Verify water pressure from the mains supply.

Valve does not shut off completely

This may indicate a worn valve seal or internal component. Professional servicing or replacement of the valve may be necessary.

Automatic shut-off activates unexpectedly

This is a safety feature designed to activate if either the hot or cold supply fails. If it happens during normal use, check the stability of both water supplies.

Compatibility: This valve is TMV2 approved and suitable for systems with balanced or unbalanced hot and cold water supplies. Ensure your water system pressures are within the valve's operating range as specified by Rada.
