Hudson Reed Tec Twin Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve - Silver

A thermostatic shower valve precisely controls and maintains the water temperature, preventing sudden and potentially dangerous changes due to pressure fluctuations elsewhere in the home. It aims to keep the temperature within +/- 2-3°C of your selected setting.

Yes, the Hudson Reed Tec Twin Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve is compatible with all water systems (gravity, pumped, unvented, high-pressure, combi-boilers) and can be installed vertically or horizontally, making it suitable for most bathroom configurations.

Yes, it features a patented cartridge that is highly resistant to calcium build-up, making it an excellent choice for homes in hard water areas.

Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Regular gentle cleaning will keep it looking its best.

The valve is equipped with a safety feature that automatically shuts off the water supply if either the hot or cold water supply fails, preventing scalding or sudden cold shocks.

This is a concealed valve designed for installation behind the wall. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct and safe fitting.

The manufacturer provides a 20-year guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided the valve is installed and used correctly.

The cartridge is fully reversible. If the hot and cold connections are accidentally swapped during installation, the cartridge can be easily reversed without needing to re-plumb the pipework.

Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure the shower controls are in the 'on' position and have been rotated correctly. Verify there are no blockages in the showerhead or pipework.

Verify that the thermostatic control is set to the desired temperature. Check for fluctuations in the main hot or cold water supply pressure. Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve inlets. If issues persist, the cartridge may need adjustment or replacement by a professional.

This valve is designed to maintain temperature within +/- 2-3°C. Significant fluctuations may indicate severe pressure changes in the water system, which is outside the valve's control. Ensure the valve has been installed correctly and the thermostatic mechanism is functioning as intended.

Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open. Check for any kinks or blockages in the pipework leading to the shower. Clean any debris from the showerhead. Low pressure might also be inherent to the water system itself; the valve is designed to provide good flow even at low pressures, but it cannot increase system pressure.

This safety feature activates during a sudden failure of either the hot or cold water supply. Test by simulating a supply failure if safe to do so. If the feature does not engage, it indicates a potential fault with the valve's safety mechanism, and professional inspection is required.
