FAQs

What is PVD chrome finish?

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a vacuum coating process that provides a highly durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. The 3-layer PVD chrome on this mixer offers superior resistance to scratches, corrosion, and tarnishing compared to traditional chrome plating.

Can this mixer be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, this thermostatic mixer is generally compatible with combination boilers, provided the boiler provides sufficient hot water flow and pressure as per the mixer's requirements.

Is this mixer suitable for a bath/shower combination?

This specific model is a shower mixer bar. To use it for a bath/shower combination, you would need to ensure you have a bath spout and a diverter mechanism, typically integrated into a shower handset or a separate valve, to switch water flow between the bath and shower.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with the product for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.

How do I set the maximum temperature limit?

Many thermostatic mixers have a safety stop feature that can be adjusted. Consult the product's installation manual for instructions on how to set or adjust the maximum temperature limit for safety.

Can this be installed on a stud wall?

Installation on a stud wall is possible but requires appropriate wall bracing and secure mounting points to support the weight and water pressure. It is crucial to follow specific installation guidelines for stud walls.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water from the showerhead

Check that both hot and cold water supplies are turned on and correctly connected to the mixer inlets. Ensure water pressure meets the minimum requirements.

Water temperature fluctuates significantly

Verify that the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure water supply pressures are stable and within the recommended range. If the issue persists, the internal valve may need servicing or replacement.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the water supply. Re-check all connections and ensure appropriate PTFE tape or sealant is used correctly. Tighten fittings securely but avoid overtightening.

Low water flow

Check the showerhead and hose for blockages. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. The mixer itself may have an internal flow restrictor or require cleaning if sediment has accumulated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction for longevity.
  • Sleek, modern aesthetic with a high-quality chrome finish.
  • Thermostatic control offers safety and comfort by maintaining water temperature.
  • Exposed design can simplify installation in certain bathroom setups.
  • Resistant to tarnishing and scratches due to PVD finish.

Cons

  • Requires specific exposed plumbing setup; not suitable for concealed systems.
  • Exposed nature means pipes are visible, which may not suit all design preferences.
  • Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and avoid leaks.
  • Limited to shower function; does not typically include a bath spout unless a diverter is added.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This mixer bar is designed for exposed plumbing. Ensure your water supply lines are correctly positioned and accessible for connection. Follow the included manufacturer's instructions carefully, paying close attention to sealing connections to prevent leaks. Professional installation is highly recommended.

Compatibility: Suitable for standard UK plumbing systems with a minimum and maximum water pressure suitable for thermostatic mixers (refer to manufacturer specifications for exact pressure ranges). It is compatible with most standard shower hoses and heads.

Care: Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the PVD chrome finish. For limescale, use a mild vinegar solution and wipe clean.
