The NES Home 2 Dial 2 Outlet Concealed Square Thermostatic Shower Valve in gold is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a minimalist, modern aesthetic in their bathroom. Its primary benefit is the combination of precise thermostatic temperature control with the ability to switch between two different shower outlets, such as an overhead drencher and a handheld handset. A notable caveat is that as a concealed unit, it requires access behind the wall for installation and maintenance, making it best suited for new builds or complete renovations where plumbing can be recessed.

No, this product is for the thermostatic valve control unit only; shower heads and hoses must be purchased separately.
This unit is typically designed to switch between the two outlets, so they usually do not operate simultaneously.
A thermostatic valve mixes hot and cold water to a pre-set temperature and adjusts automatically to maintain it, preventing sudden scalding.
The finish is designed for bathroom environments, but it should be cleaned only with soft cloths and mild soap to maintain its integrity.
The wall must be deep enough to accommodate the recessed valve body and the plumbing connections, typically requiring at least 70-100mm of depth depending on the wall construction.
Check that the incoming hot and cold water supplies are balanced and that the filter screens inside the valve are free from debris.
Verify that the supply pipes are not kinked and ensure that the outlet isolation valves are fully opened.
The internal cartridge may have mineral buildup; remove and soak in a mild descaling solution or replace the cartridge if necessary.
Installation must be carried out by a qualified plumber, as it involves recessing the valve body into the wall cavity. Before finalizing the wall finish, ensure all pipe connections are pressure-tested to detect potential leaks.
Compatibility: This valve is compatible with most standard plumbing systems, though you should confirm that your hot water supply provides sufficient pressure for the thermostatic mechanism to engage correctly.
Care Instructions: To maintain the gold finish, wipe the dials and escutcheon plate regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these can strip the gold plating and cause corrosion. If you reside in a hard water area, periodically inspect the outlets for limescale buildup to ensure the flow remains consistent.
