Vandal resistant means the shower head is constructed with materials and design features, such as tamper-proof fixings, to resist damage, misuse, or unauthorized removal. This makes it ideal for public or high-risk environments.
Yes, the thermostatic cartridge has a preset stop at 38°C for safety but can be manually overridden to a maximum of 46°C. Refer to the installation manual for instructions on adjusting this setting.
The VR1000 is compatible with both exposed and concealed pipework and uses a standard 1/2" BSP connection, making it suitable for most standard shower installations.
Clean the shower head using a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn limescale or debris in the nozzles, gently use a mild descaler and rinse thoroughly.
This refers to the direction from which the water supply pipework connects to the shower valve feeding the shower head. The VR1000 can be configured to accept water from either a pipe coming from below (bottom supply) or from behind (rear supply).
Standard plumbing tools are typically required. However, due to the tamper-proof fixings, specific tools or methods outlined in the installation guide may be necessary to ensure secure installation and prevent tampering.
Check for blockages in the shower arm or the shower head nozzles. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. Clean or replace any clogged filters or spray rings.
Adjust the thermostatic cartridge. If the temperature is too low, override the 38°C stop towards the 46°C maximum. If too high or inconsistent, ensure the hot and cold water supplies are balanced and functioning correctly. Regular maintenance of the thermostatic cartridge may be required.
Ensure the shower arm connection is tight. Apply plumber's tape to the threads of the shower arm before screwing on the shower head. Check the rubber washer for damage.
Refer to the specific installation manual for the VR1000 model for detailed instructions on securing the tamper-proof fixings. Ensure all components are correctly aligned before tightening.
