FAQs
What is the minimum wall cavity depth required for installation?
The slim concealed shower valve requires a minimum cavity space of 35mm. The total fitting depth, including plasterboard and tiles, is 60mm to 75mm.
Does this shower pack include the necessary plumbing for installation?
This is an all-in-one shower pack that includes the shower valve, drench head, shower arm, and shower kit. However, it requires standard 15mm inlet connections, which are typically part of the existing plumbing system. You may need additional plumbing fittings depending on your specific setup.
How do I clean the limescale from the shower nozzles?
Simply rub a finger or a damp cloth over the nozzles on both the multi-function handset and the drench head to easily remove limescale and debris build-up.
Can I use this shower with a low-pressure water system?
While the shower is designed for standard systems, performance may be affected by low water pressure. If you have low pressure, you may need to install a shower pump to ensure optimal performance.
How do I switch between the drench head and the handset?
The shower valve features an integral two-outlet diverter. Use the controls to switch the water flow between the main drench head and the multi-function handset.
Is the matt black finish durable?
The matt black finish is designed for modern aesthetics. It should be maintained with gentle cleaning using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
How is the temperature and flow controlled?
The shower features dual controls, allowing you to operate and adjust the water flow and temperature separately for precise control over your showering experience.
Troubleshooting
No water or low water flow from the showerhead/handset.
Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the diverter is correctly set to the desired outlet. Inspect the filters on the inlet connections for blockages. Verify that the cartridge is correctly seated and clean any debris. Check for any kinks or blockages in the shower hose or arm.
Temperature control is not working correctly.
Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected. Check the temperature limit stop (if applicable) and ensure it is set correctly. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
Leaking from the shower valve or outlets.
Verify that all connections are securely tightened. Inspect seals and washers for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the valve body is correctly installed within the wall cavity and sealed properly. The cartridge seals may require attention.
Matt black finish is fading or damaged.
Only use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for cleaning. Avoid all abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishing compounds. Ensure no harsh chemicals are used in the bathroom that could affect the finish.
