Thermostatic control ensures the water temperature remains stable to within +/- 2 degrees Celsius, preventing sudden, uncomfortable temperature changes and protecting against scalding.
Yes, the Lennox valve features a patented cartridge that is highly resistant to calcium buildup, making it suitable for use even in hard water areas.
While possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended due to the concealed nature of the valve and the need for precise connections.
The valve requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar to operate effectively.
The valve has a built-in diverter controlled by one of the knobs, allowing you to easily switch the water flow between the two connected outlets (e.g., fixed shower head and handheld shower).
Hudson Reed provides a 20-year guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, excluding serviceable parts, provided the valve is installed and maintained according to instructions.
The product information lists dimensions of 120mm x 215mm x 135mm, which typically refer to the overall unit or installation space rather than just the backplate size. The backplate is described as rectangular.
Ensure the hot water supply is functioning correctly and the thermostatic control is set to the desired temperature. Check that the hot and cold inlet connections are correct; if reversed, the reversible cartridge may need to be turned 180 degrees.
Verify that your water pressure meets the required 0.5 to 4 bar range. Fluctuations could indicate an issue with your home's overall water system pressure. Ensure no other high-demand appliances are running simultaneously that might affect pressure.
Check for any blockages in the shower head or hose. Ensure the diverter is functioning correctly and not partially obstructing flow. For low-pressure systems, confirm that the valve is performing as expected for that pressure range.
Inspect the diverter mechanism for any debris or obstruction. Ensure the control knob is fully engaging the diverter. If issues persist, the internal diverter component may require servicing or replacement.
Check all connections for tightness. If the leak appears to be from the valve body itself, contact the manufacturer or a qualified plumber, as it may indicate a faulty seal or component.
Setup:
Installation of this concealed shower valve requires careful planning and execution, often best handled by a qualified plumber. Ensure the wall cavity is prepared to house the valve body and that connections are made according to the manufacturer's instructions. The valve is designed to be fitted vertically or horizontally.
Compatibility:
This valve is suitable for all UK water systems, including:
It requires a water pressure between 0.5 to 4 bar. Inlet connections are 22mm (3/4").
Care:
To maintain the chrome finish and optimal function, clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal maintenance, the highly resistant cartridge may require occasional inspection or replacement as per the manufacturer's service guidelines, though its design minimizes frequent servicing.
