Yes, the patented, reversible cartridge is highly resistant to calcium build-up, making it an excellent choice for homes in hard water regions.
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the valve complies with UK water supply regulations. TMV2 (Thermostatic Mixing Valve Type 2) approval indicates it meets stringent performance and safety standards for thermostatic mixing valves.
The pipe centres, which is the distance between the hot and cold water pipes connecting to the valve, should be 155mm.
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could scratch the finish.
The Hudson Reed Tec Dual Exposed Thermostatic Shower Valve comes with a 20-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Yes, this valve is suitable for all water systems, including combi boilers, gravity-fed, mains pressure, and pumped systems.
Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is not blocked by limescale. Clean or replace the cartridge if necessary. Check that both hot and cold water supplies are adequate and not being significantly used elsewhere.
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the shower head and valve for blockages or debris. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hose.
Check all connections to ensure they are tight. Inspect the seals and O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. If the leak persists, the internal cartridge may be faulty.
Limescale build-up can cause stiffness. Attempt to clean the internal components, or if necessary, replace the thermostatic cartridge.
Setup: This is an exposed thermostatic shower valve, meaning all the pipework and the valve body are visible on the outside of the wall. Installation involves connecting your hot and cold water supply pipes directly to the valve, which is then mounted to the wall. The standard 15mm (1/2 BSP) connections ensure compatibility with most plumbing systems. Ensure the wall is adequately prepared to support the valve's weight and the pipe connections. The specified pipe centres of 155mm must be adhered to for correct installation.
Compatibility: Suitable for all water systems including combi boilers, gravity-fed, mains pressure, and pumped systems. It is WRAS and TMV2 approved.
Care: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the surface. Periodically check the valve for any signs of limescale build-up, especially in hard water areas. The reversible cartridge is designed to minimize this, but occasional cleaning may be beneficial.
