FAQs

What is a concealed shower valve?

A concealed shower valve has its main components hidden within the wall, leaving only the controls and spout visible. This creates a cleaner, more modern look.

Does this valve require professional installation?

Yes, due to its concealed nature, professional plumbing installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct and safe operation.

What is the guarantee period for this shower valve?

The RAK Ceramics Prima Tech Concealed Shower Valve comes with a 15-year guarantee.

What are the dimensions of the valve?

The main dimensions are approximately 275mm (Width) x 80mm (Height) x 62mm (Depth). The projection is between 6.2cm and 9.9cm.

Can I use this valve with a combi boiler?

This valve should be compatible with most water systems, including combi boilers, provided the water pressure meets the minimum and maximum requirements specified by the manufacturer.

How do I clean the silver (chrome) finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch or damage the finish.

What is the difference between dual control and single control valves?

Dual control valves have separate handles or levers for temperature and flow, allowing independent adjustment. Single control valves use one lever to adjust both temperature and flow.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water at the valve.

Check that the main water supply is on and that the isolation valves for the shower are open. Ensure hot and cold water feeds are correctly connected to the valve.

Water temperature is not consistent.

Verify that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no blockages in the system and that water pressure is within the recommended range. If issues persist, consult a professional plumber.

Low water flow.

Check the showerhead and any integrated filters for blockages. Ensure water supply valves are fully open. If the issue is only with hot or cold water, check the respective supply line.

Valve is leaking.

Check all connections and seals. If the leak is from the valve body itself, it may require internal servicing or replacement. Contact a qualified plumber.
