Product Information
Full details
This Affine Square Brushed Brass Shower Riser Kit is designed for homeowners looking to update their bathroom with a stylish, on-trend fixture. Its key benefit is the luxurious brushed brass finish combined with a modern, angular design that elevates any contemporary space. A potential caveat is that the single-spray handset may not suit users who prefer multiple spray functions. The kit features an adjustable riser rail, a square single-spray handset, and a 1500mm shower hose, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality for everyday use.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for this shower kit?
The Affine Square Brushed Brass Shower Riser Kit comes with a 1-year manufacturer guarantee.
Can I replace the handset with a different type?
While the hose is standard, replacing the handset may depend on thread compatibility. It's best to consult the product specifications or contact customer support to confirm.
Is this shower kit suitable for low water pressure systems?
The kit is compatible with most standard systems. However, performance on very low pressure systems might be limited, as with any shower. It is recommended to have adequate water pressure for optimal use.
How do I clean the brushed brass finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish. Regular gentle cleaning is best.
Does this kit include a shower valve?
No, this is a riser kit only. It requires an existing shower valve (e.g., a mixer or thermostatic valve) to function.
What are the dimensions of the square handset?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is designed with a modern, angular aesthetic. Please refer to official product schematics if available or contact the manufacturer for exact measurements.
Can the shower hose be replaced if damaged?
Yes, the 1500mm shower hose uses standard fittings and can typically be replaced with a compatible hose if needed.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from the handset
Check that the shower valve is fully open. Inspect the shower hose and handset for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the main water supply to the shower is adequate and that no other taps are running simultaneously. Clean any aerator or flow restrictor in the handset if applicable.
Leaking from hose or connections
Ensure all connections are hand-tightened securely. Check that the rubber washers are correctly seated in the hose fittings. If leaks persist, try replacing the rubber washer or contact customer support.
Riser rail is unstable or loose
Verify that all mounting screws for the rail brackets are tightened appropriately into the wall. Ensure the wall anchors (if used) are secure. Re-check the instructions for proper rail assembly and wall mounting.
Handset height adjustment is stiff
Gently try to adjust the height. Avoid excessive force. Sometimes, a bit of lubrication on the rail mechanism, as per manufacturer recommendations (if specified), can help. If it remains stuck, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Installation is designed to be straightforward, with all necessary fixings provided. It is recommended to turn off the main water supply before beginning installation. Follow the included step-by-step instructions for mounting the riser rail and connecting the hose and handset. Professional installation is advised if you are not comfortable with plumbing.
Compatibility: This kit is designed to be compatible with most standard UK shower systems, including those with mixer valves. However, it is essential to ensure your existing plumbing and water pressure are suitable for this type of shower kit.
Care: To maintain the pristine appearance of the brushed brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale buildup, a mild solution of water and vinegar can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
