This Balterley Connect Twin Concealed Crosshead Thermostatic Shower Valve is designed for homeowners seeking a sleek, modern bathroom with reliable temperature control. Its key benefit is the concealed design that hides unsightly plumbing, offering a clean aesthetic, coupled with a patented Valquest cartridge and thermostatic control for safety. A potential caveat is that it's a single outlet valve, requiring separate components for a full shower system.

The main advantage is its aesthetic appeal. It hides all the pipework within the wall, creating a clean, minimalist look for your bathroom.
The thermostatic mechanism mixes hot and cold water to a pre-set temperature. If the incoming water pressure or temperature changes, it automatically adjusts the mix to maintain your chosen temperature, preventing scalding.
Yes, this valve is suitable for most domestic water systems, including pumped systems, provided there is adequate and consistent water pressure.
Ceramic disc technology ensures a smooth handle operation and provides a durable, long-lasting seal that prevents leaks, outperforming traditional rubber seals.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could scratch the finish. For limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
No, this is a single outlet valve. For a system with two outlets, such as a shower head and a bath spout, you would need a diverter valve in addition to this or a different valve designed for multiple outlets.
WRAS approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards, ensuring it is safe and suitable for use with drinking water in the UK.
Check that the main water supply is turned on and that the isolation valves (if installed) are open. Ensure there are no blockages in the feed pipes.
Verify that both hot and cold water supplies are adequately mixed before reaching the valve. Check for any airlocks or blockages in the supply lines. Ensure the thermostatic mechanism is not obstructed.
Check the flow from the individual hot and cold taps. Clean any aerators or filters on the shower head or spout. Ensure the valve's internal workings are not blocked.
This could indicate limescale buildup or a worn cartridge. Consult the care instructions for cleaning, or consider replacing the Valquest cartridge if the issue persists.
Ensure the valve is properly installed and all connections are secure. If the leak is from the handles, the ceramic disc or cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
