FAQs

What is the main advantage of the concealed design?

The concealed design allows for a clean, minimalist look in your bathroom by hiding the main valve body behind the wall, exposing only the controls and spout/shower head.

Can I use this mixer with a single shower outlet?

While designed for two outlets, it can be used with a single outlet system. You would simply not connect the second outlet.

What does 'thermostatic' mean in this context?

Thermostatic means the valve automatically maintains the set water temperature, adjusting for changes in pressure or temperature of the incoming hot and cold water supplies, and includes an anti-scald safety feature.

How do I access the valve for maintenance?

The valve is designed so that the internal components can be accessed and serviced by removing the trim plate and control knobs, without needing to remove wall tiles or re-plumb.

What water pressure is recommended for this shower mixer?

A minimum of 0.5 bar is required, but 1.0 bar or higher is recommended for the best performance and consistent temperature control.

What comes in the box?

The box contains the Thermostatic shower mixer valve itself.

What is the outlet diameter and inlet size?

The outlets have a 1/2" diameter, and the hot/cold inlets are 3/4".

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water flow

Check that the main water supply is on and that the isolation valves to the mixer are open. Ensure water pressure meets the minimum requirement.

Temperature fluctuates significantly

Verify that the water pressure is stable and meets the recommended 1.0 bar. Check that the anti-scald device is functioning correctly; if issues persist, the valve may require servicing.

Diverter between outlets is stiff or not working

The diverter mechanism may require cleaning or lubrication. If the issue persists, the internal diverter components might need replacement.

Low water flow from outlets

Ensure the water system pressure is adequate (minimum 0.5 bar, recommended 1.0 bar). Check for any blockages in the shower heads or associated pipework.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a safe showering experience with its anti-scald feature.
  • Durable construction with high-grade solid brass.
  • Convenient maintenance access without full system disassembly.
  • Supports multi-outlet configurations for versatile shower setups.
  • Consistent water temperature for enhanced comfort.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum of 0.5 bar water pressure, with 1.0 bar recommended for best performance.
  • Installation requires concealed plumbing, which may be more involved than surface-mounted options.
  • Specific compatibility with all water systems needs to be verified by the installer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed mixer valve, meaning the main body is installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct alignment and water connections. The valve features 1/2" outlet connections and 3/4" hot/cold water inlets.

Compatibility: The ENKI Regent mixer is compatible with various water systems including combination boiler systems, gravity-fed systems (requires a pump for optimal performance), Megaflow systems, pumped hot water systems, un-vented hot water systems, and standard pressurized hot water cylinder systems. A minimum of 0.5 bar water pressure is required, with 1.0 bar recommended for optimal results.

Care: To maintain the finish, clean the external trim with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gold plating. Periodically, the internal valve may require servicing; the design allows for access to the valve components without needing to disturb the surrounding wall tiles.
