FAQs

What is a concealed thermostatic shower mixer valve?

It's a valve installed within the wall that controls both water temperature and flow, providing a consistent shower experience and a clean, modern look by hiding pipes.

Can I use this with a combi boiler?

Yes, this valve is generally compatible with combi boilers, provided your system can maintain adequate water pressure and temperature for thermostatic control.

How many shower outlets can this valve control?

This specific model is designed to control and supply water to two separate shower outlets.

Is the installation process difficult?

Installation requires professional plumbing expertise as it is a concealed unit that needs to be integrated into the wall and plumbing system.

What maintenance is required for the chrome finish?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the mirror-like sheen.

What is covered by the 10-year guarantee?

The guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. Please refer to the product's warranty documentation for full details.

Can I control hot and cold water independently for each outlet?

No, the valve controls the overall mixed water temperature and flow, which is then distributed to the two outlets. You control the *level* of hot/cold mix for both outlets together, and the flow rate for each.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow from outlets.

Check that the main water supply is on. Ensure the shut-off valves for the mixer are open. Verify that the pipework is not kinked or blocked. Clean any debris from the valve's filters.

Temperature is too hot or too cold and cannot be adjusted.

Confirm the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the valve. Check if the thermostatic element is functioning correctly; professional assessment may be needed if it's faulty.

Difficulty operating the control dials.

Ensure the dials are properly seated on their spindles. If stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant may be applied to the spindle (consult a professional first). Check for any obstructions.

Leaking from the valve or backplate.

Turn off the water supply immediately. Inspect all connections for tightness and proper sealing. Replace any worn or damaged seals or washers. Professional assistance may be required for internal valve leaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation of this concealed shower mixer valve requires professional plumbing expertise. It involves wall mounting and connecting to the main water supply lines. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight before fully concealing the valve behind the backplate.

Compatibility:

This mixer valve is compatible with most standard UK plumbing systems. It is designed to supply water to two outlets. Ensure your existing or planned water system can support a thermostatic mixer valve and is suitable for the desired pressure range.

Care:

  • For stubborn water spots, use a mild solution of water and white vinegar, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
