Full details

The ENKI Downton Thermostatic Concentric Shower Mixer Valve is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of classic aesthetics and reliable modern performance in their bathroom. Its key benefit is the triple thermostatic anti-scald protection, ensuring a safe and comfortable showering experience.

FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower valve?

The ENKI Downton shower valve can operate with as little as 0.5 bar water pressure. However, for optimal performance and a strong flow rate, a minimum of 1.0 bar is recommended.

Can this valve run a rainfall shower head and a handheld shower at the same time?

Yes, this valve is capable of running two shower outlets simultaneously, provided your water system can supply adequate pressure for both.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The ENKI Downton shower valve comes with a 10-year guarantee.

How do I clean the chrome finish and ceramic handles?

Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the chrome plating and handle finish.

Is this valve suitable for all types of plumbing systems?

Yes, the valve is suitable for all plumbing systems. It is designed to work with a wide range of pressures.

What are the dimensions for the pipe connections?

The connections are spaced 147-153mm apart. It has a 3/4" top outlet, 1/2" or 3/4" bottom outlet (adaptor to 1/2" included), and 1/2" hot/cold inlets.

Does this valve come with the shower head or other shower accessories?

No, this product is the shower valve mixer only. Shower heads and other accessories need to be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very low flow

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure inlet filters are clean and not blocked. Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar, ideally 1.0 bar).

Temperature fluctuates significantly

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are balanced and consistent. Check if the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly; consult a professional if issues persist. Make sure no other appliances are drawing heavily on hot or cold water simultaneously.

Anti-scald mechanism seems unresponsive

Confirm that the cold water supply has not failed. If the cold water supply is interrupted, the valve should shut off. If it fails to do so, immediate professional inspection is required.

Difficulty controlling water flow or temperature

Ensure the control handles are fully engaging. Debris in the valve mechanism can sometimes cause stiffness; professional cleaning may be required.
