FAQs

Does this valve come with the shower heads?

Yes, the Heritage Dawlish SDCDUAL07 is a complete kit including the fixed riser and the handset.

Is this shower suitable for low-pressure systems?

Performance depends on your specific system; it is recommended to consult with a plumber to verify if your pressure is sufficient for a thermostatic dual-control valve.

Can I use this with a combi-boiler?

Yes, this thermostatic valve is generally compatible with most combi-boiler systems, provided they are capable of delivering a balanced flow.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Use only a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the plating.

What is the warranty period?

Please consult your original purchase documentation or the Heritage official website for specific warranty terms regarding the SDCDUAL07 model.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates during shower

Check that your hot and cold water supplies are balanced and that internal filters are not clogged with sediment.

Low water flow from shower head

Verify that your water system meets the minimum pressure requirements and ensure the shower head nozzles are clear of limescale.

Diverter not switching properly

Check the diverter valve mechanism for debris and ensure the water pressure is sufficient to seat the diverter seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic traditional styling suitable for heritage homes
  • Reliable thermostatic safety features
  • Durable brass build quality
  • Versatile switching between fixed head and handset
  • Timeless chrome finish

Cons

  • Requires professional plumbing installation
  • Exposed pipework requires precise alignment
  • May require high-pressure water systems for best performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all connections are watertight and pressure levels are appropriate for the thermostatic unit. The valve is designed for exposed mounting, meaning pipe centers must be measured precisely before finishing tile work. Compatibility with your existing water heating system (combi-boiler or gravity-fed) should be verified by a professional to ensure the valve receives sufficient pressure. For maintenance, clean the chrome surface regularly with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the chrome finish and damage the aesthetic integrity of the heritage-style hardware. If flow rates decrease over time, the internal filters may need to be inspected for sediment buildup.
