FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

The RAK Ceramics Concealed Shower Valve comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer. Serviceable parts have a separate 2-year guarantee.

Do I need to buy a shower head and hose separately?

Yes, the shower kit and shower head are sold separately. This valve controls the water supply to two outlets, which you can connect to your chosen shower head and/or bath filler.

What is the minimum water pressure required for this valve?

The minimum required water pressure for this shower valve is 0.5 Bar.

Can this valve be used with a combination boiler?

Yes, this thermostatic shower valve is compatible with combination boilers, as well as unvented and pumped gravity water systems, provided the minimum pressure requirement is met.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.

What does 'concealed' installation mean?

A concealed installation means that the main body of the shower valve is installed within the wall cavity, leaving only the controls and backplate visible. This provides a clean, modern look.

Can I control two shower outlets simultaneously?

This valve is designed to supply water to two outlets. The dual controls allow you to manage the flow and temperature, but typically you would use one outlet at a time for optimal performance, or a diverter function if your separate shower kit includes one.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow from outlets

Check that the water supply is turned on, ensure the minimum pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar is met, and verify that the correct outlets are selected on the controls. Also, check for any blockages in the shower head or hose if these are attached.

Temperature fluctuates or is not stable

Ensure the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement (within the 2-year serviceable part warranty period if applicable).

Controls are stiff or difficult to operate

The internal components might require cleaning or lubrication. Consult a qualified plumber to inspect and service the valve, particularly if it's within the warranty period.

Leaking from the valve body or connections

This usually indicates an issue with the installation or seals. A qualified plumber should inspect the installation, tighten connections if necessary, or replace any faulty seals or cartridges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent thermostatic temperature stability for safe showering.
  • Concealed design offers a sleek, modern, and uncluttered look.
  • Durable brass construction ensures long-term reliability.
  • Dual controls offer precise customization of shower experience.
  • Backed by a substantial 15-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of shower kit and shower head.
  • Concealed installation means it is not suitable for quick retrofits or simple replacements.
  • Minimum water pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar may limit compatibility in some low-pressure systems.
  • Serviceable parts have a shorter 2-year guarantee compared to the main unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shower valve requires a concealed installation, meaning the main body is fitted within the wall cavity. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure correct pipe connections and water sealing. Ensure the wall space is adequate for the valve and its connections.

Compatibility:

  • Water System: Compatible with most standard plumbing systems, but requires a minimum pressure of 0.5 Bar. It can be used with combi boilers, unvented systems, and pumped gravity systems.
  • Outlets: Designed to supply water to two outlets (e.g., a shower head and a body jet, or a shower head and a bath filler). You will need to purchase compatible shower heads and shower kits separately.
  • Wall Type: Suitable for installation within standard stud or solid walls.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any leaks and ensure controls operate smoothly. The manufacturer provides a 15-year guarantee on the valve, with a 2-year guarantee on serviceable parts.
