Can I install this valve myself?

Due to its concealed nature and the requirement for precise plumbing, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended.

How do I clean the black finish?

What are the dimensions of the concealed valve body?

The approximate dimensions of the concealed valve body are 70mm (width) x 220mm (height) x 136mm (depth).

Does this valve come with a shower head and hose?

This product is the concealed shower valve only. Shower heads, hoses, and other accessories are typically sold separately.

Is the black finish durable?

The black finish is designed for durability in a bathroom environment, but it should be cared for using non-abrasive cleaning methods to maintain its appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low water flow

Check that the water supply is turned on. Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar. Ensure no kinks or blockages are present in the pipework leading to the valve. If the issue persists, consult a professional plumber.

Water temperature is inconsistent

Ensure the water pressure is within the optimal range (0.5 - 5 bar). Check if other water outlets in the property are being used simultaneously, which can affect pressure. The thermostatic cartridge may require cleaning or replacement; consult a professional.

Valve is dripping when turned off

This usually indicates a worn or faulty internal component, such as a ceramic disc or seal. The valve may need to be serviced or have its internal parts replaced by a qualified plumber.

Visible plate or handle is discolored or damaged

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If the finish is significantly damaged, contact RAK Ceramics or a supplier for replacement parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup & Compatibility:

This concealed shower valve requires installation within a wall cavity. It is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems and requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar and a maximum of 5 bar for optimal operation. Due to its concealed nature, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting and to avoid potential water damage. Ensure the wall cavity is adequately sized for the valve's dimensions (70mm x 220mm x 136mm) and that access for future maintenance is considered.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the sleek black finish, regularly clean the visible control plate and handle with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For internal components, regular servicing by a professional may be required to ensure longevity and performance, especially if water hardness is an issue in your area. Wipe away any water spots promptly to prevent buildup.
