FAQs

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

The Enki Naples Thermostatic Triple Shower Valve requires a minimum of 0.5 bar water pressure. For the best performance and consistent flow across multiple outlets, a pressure of 1.0 bar is recommended.

Can I use this valve with a combi boiler?

Yes, this valve is compatible with combination boiler systems, provided they can supply at least 0.5 bar of water pressure.

How many shower heads can I connect to this valve?

This is a triple valve, meaning it is designed to control up to three separate water outlets simultaneously or individually. This could be a combination of a rain shower, handheld shower, body jets, or a bath filler.

What does the 'anti-scald' feature do?

The anti-scald device is a safety mechanism that automatically turns off the water supply if there is a sudden failure or significant drop in the cold water pressure, preventing scalding.

Is installation difficult?

This is a concealed valve, meaning the main body is installed within the wall. While engineered for relative ease of maintenance, the initial installation requires proper wall access and plumbing, so professional installation is often recommended.

How do I clean and maintain the valve?

Clean the visible parts with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For internal maintenance, the trim and escutcheon can be removed to access the thermostatic cartridge if needed.

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

The Enki Naples Thermostatic Triple Shower Valve comes with a 10-year guarantee, providing peace of mind for your purchase.

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very low flow from outlets.

Check that the water system meets the minimum pressure requirement (0.5 bar, ideally 1.0 bar). Ensure all isolation valves are fully open. Verify that the chosen outlets are correctly selected via the diverter dial.

Water temperature fluctuates unexpectedly.

Ensure the thermostatic middle dial is set correctly. Check if the water system pressure is stable. If fluctuations persist, the thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.

Anti-scald device activates unexpectedly.

This is a safety feature. It indicates a significant drop in cold water pressure. Check your main water supply. If the issue is intermittent, ensure there are no blockages in the cold water line to the shower valve.

One or more outlets do not divert correctly.

Ensure the bottom dial is turned fully to select the desired outlet(s). If a specific outlet fails to function, check for blockages in the pipework leading to that outlet or within the valve's diverter mechanism.

Valve leaks from the control trim or escutcheon plate.

This usually indicates an issue with the seals or cartridge. The trim and escutcheon will need to be removed to access the valve for inspection and potential repair or replacement of the cartridge.

  • Installation is more complex due to the concealed nature, potentially requiring professional help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

  • Water Pressure: Requires a minimum of 0.5 bar water pressure, with 1.0 bar recommended for optimal performance. Compatible with combination boiler systems, pumped gravity-fed systems, Megaflow, un-vented hot water systems, and standard pressurized hot water cylinders.
  • Outlets: Designed to connect to three separate water outlets (e.g., rain shower, handheld shower, body jets, or bath filler).
  • Inlets: Features 3/4" hot and cold water inlets.
  • Outlet Diameter: 1/2" outlet diameter for connected shower components.

Setup:

  • Concealed Installation: This valve is designed for concealed installation within a wall cavity. Professional installation is recommended due to the nature of the work.
  • Plumbing Connections: Connect the 3/4" hot and cold water supply lines to the respective inlets on the valve body. Ensure the built-in non-return valves are correctly oriented.
  • Outlet Connections: Connect the pipework for your three chosen outlets to the corresponding 1/2" outlets on the valve.
  • Control Dials: Familiarize yourself with the function of each dial: Top for Outlet 1 On/Off, Middle for Temperature Control, Bottom for Outlets 2 & 3 On/Off and Diverter.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome or brass finish.
  • Maintenance: The valve is designed for easier servicing. Access to the internal components is typically achieved by removing the control trim and escutcheon plate, allowing for replacement of the cartridge if necessary without re-plumbing.
  • Winterizing: In freezing conditions, ensure the system is drained to prevent damage to the valve and pipework.
