Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your water supply pipes are clean and free of debris. Measure the distance between your shower mixer inlets and mark the drill holes accordingly on your wall surface. After drilling and inserting the provided wall plugs, secure the screw plates. Attach the threaded adapters and olives, ensuring a tight seal, and finish by sliding the wall plates over the adapters before mounting the bar valve.
Compatibility-wise, this set works with standard bar mixer showers. Regarding care, clean the chrome surfaces periodically with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish. Always check that the connections remain tight during your regular bathroom cleaning routine.
