This Heritage Highbrook Exposed & Fixed Shower Kit is designed for homeowners looking to enhance their bathroom with a traditional, elegant aesthetic. Its key benefit is the high-performance flow combined with thermostatic temperature control for a safe and consistent shower experience. A potential caveat is its exposed nature, which requires specific installation considerations. The shower kit features classic brassware, a high-performance flow, and crucial thermostatic temperature control with an automatic stop function to prevent sudden water temperature changes.

Thermostatic control maintains a preset water temperature, preventing sudden, potentially dangerous surges of hot or cold water, thus ensuring a safer and more comfortable shower experience.
While the kit offers high-performance flow, it performs best with adequate water pressure. Check the product's technical specifications for minimum recommended pressure requirements. Low-pressure systems may result in reduced performance.
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with another soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
No, this is an exposed shower kit, meaning the pipes and valve are designed to be visible on the surface of the wall. It is not suitable for concealed installations.
The automatic stop function is a safety feature that automatically cuts off the water supply if there is a sudden loss of pressure in either the hot or cold water line, preventing scalding or chilling.
General plumbing tools are required, including pipe wrenches, screwdrivers, a tape measure, and potentially a pipe cutter and sealant. It is highly recommended to consult the specific installation manual provided with the product and use professional installation if you are not experienced.
Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Ensure there are no blockages in the shower head or internal filters. Verify that water pressure meets the minimum requirements specified for the kit.
Confirm that the thermostatic valve has been installed correctly and is functioning. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the thermostatic mechanism. Ensure adequate hot and cold water supply to the unit.
This function relies on a significant change in water pressure. Ensure your plumbing system is capable of rapid pressure changes. If issues persist, a professional inspection of the thermostatic valve is recommended.
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Setup: This is an exposed shower kit, meaning the water pipes are visible and connect directly to the unit. Ensure you have appropriate plumbing access for hot and cold water supplies. Follow the manufacturer's installation guide carefully, paying close attention to the orientation of hot and cold inlets. For optimal performance, it is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber.
Compatibility: The kit is designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires a minimum water pressure for the thermostatic controls and flow rate to function effectively; check the product specifications for recommended pressure ranges. Ensure your existing hot and cold water systems are suitable.
Care: To maintain the chrome effect finish, regularly clean the shower kit with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
