FAQs
What material is the shower mixer made of?
The Invena Wall Concealed Shower Mixer is primarily made of brass for durability, with a matte black and shiny rose gold finish.
Is this mixer suitable for a bath/shower combination?
This model is designed as a shower mixer. For a bath/shower combination, a diverter would typically be required, which may necessitate a different mixer model or additional components.
Can I install this myself?
Due to its concealed nature, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure proper function and prevent leaks.
How do I clean the rose gold parts?
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty documentation for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.
Does it come with the internal valve body?
Yes, a wall-concealed shower mixer typically includes the internal valve body necessary for installation within the wall.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure
Check if the showerhead or internal valve is clogged. Clean any sediment or debris. Ensure the main water supply to the property is adequate.
Difficulty controlling temperature
Ensure the mixer valve is correctly installed and aligned. Check for any obstructions in the hot or cold water lines leading to the mixer.
Leaking from the handle or trim plate
The internal seals or cartridge may need replacement. This typically requires partial disassembly by a qualified plumber.
Rose gold finish tarnishing
Use only non-abrasive cleaning agents specifically designed for metallic finishes. Avoid acidic or alkaline cleaners. Ensure the area is thoroughly dried after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This is a wall-concealed fixture, meaning the primary valve body is installed within the wall cavity. Professional plumbing installation is required to ensure correct water supply connections and proper sealing within the wall. The external trim plate and control lever are then fitted.
Compatibility:
Compatible with standard UK/EU shower plumbing systems. Ensure your wall construction can accommodate a concealed valve body. It is designed to control a single shower outlet.
Care:
- Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, especially on the rose gold finish, as they can cause damage or discoloration.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
