FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower valve?

The RAK Petit Shower Valve requires a minimum operating pressure of 1.0 bar to function effectively.

Can this valve control both a showerhead and a bath filler?

No, this is a single outlet diverter valve designed to control one water outlet, such as a shower head or a handheld shower.

What material is the shower valve made from?

The shower valve is crafted from solid brass for durability and longevity.

How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The RAK Ceramics RAK Petit Shower Valve comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Is this valve suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, it is suitable for systems operating above 1.0 bar. However, for very high-pressure systems, a pressure-reducing valve may be advisable depending on overall plumbing specifications.

Does this valve come with the shower head and controls?

This listing is for the shower valve body only, designed for concealed installation. The visible control plate and any associated shower head or handset would typically be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

No water or low flow from the showerhead

Check that the water supply is on. Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum 1.0 bar requirement. Ensure no kinks or blockages are present in the pipework leading to the valve and clean any integrated filters if accessible.

Water temperature fluctuates unexpectedly

This usually indicates an issue with the thermostatic cartridge. Ensure the valve was installed correctly and that the water supply temperatures are stable. If problems persist, the thermostatic cartridge may need replacement by a qualified professional.

Valve is difficult to operate

Check for any obstructions around the handle or control mechanism. If the valve has been recently installed, ensure it was fitted correctly. Sediment buildup can sometimes cause stiffness; professional servicing might be required.

Leaks from the valve body

Leaks from a concealed valve typically require access to the internal components. This should only be addressed by a qualified plumber to diagnose and repair the internal seals or cartridge, ensuring the wall cavity is properly resealed afterward.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction for longevity.
  • Elegant brushed nickel finish enhances bathroom aesthetics.
  • Concealed design promotes a clean and modern look.
  • Thermostatic control provides safety and comfort.
  • Backed by a 15-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar to function optimally.
  • Single outlet design limits multi-function shower setups.
  • Concealed installation may require more complex fitting than exposed valves.
  • Specific repair parts might be proprietary to RAK Ceramics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This valve is designed for concealed wall installation. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure proper water sealing and secure mounting within the wall cavity. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual, paying close attention to pipe connections and the sealing of the valve body before tiling.

Compatibility:

  • Water Systems: Suitable for systems with a minimum operating pressure of 1.0 bar. It is compatible with most standard UK and European plumbing systems.
  • Outlets: Designed for single outlet use (e.g., a standard shower head or a handheld shower). If you wish to control multiple outlets like a bath filler and shower head, a different valve would be required.

Care:

  • Clean the brushed nickel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
  • For internal maintenance, only qualified professionals should attempt to service the valve, typically involving cartridge replacement if flow or temperature issues arise.
