Full details
This NES Home Modern Round Thermostatic Exposed Shower Mixer Bar Valve in Chrome is designed for homeowners seeking to upgrade their showering experience with a blend of contemporary style and reliable performance.

FAQs
Is this shower mixer valve suitable for low water pressure systems?
While designed for performance, it is best to check the minimum recommended water pressure for this specific valve, as stated in the product manual. Adjustments or a pump may be needed for very low-pressure systems.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a separate soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the warranty period for this shower mixer bar valve?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for the specific warranty details, as these can vary.
Can I replace the thermostatic cartridge myself?
In some cases, yes, if you are comfortable with basic plumbing. However, it is recommended to consult the product manual or a professional plumber to ensure correct installation and avoid damage.
Does this mixer valve come with a shower head and hose?
This product is typically for the mixer bar valve itself. Please check the product listing or packaging to confirm if a shower head and hose are included, or if they need to be purchased separately.
What does 'exposed' mean in the product description?
An 'exposed' shower valve means that the main body of the valve and its pipework are visible on the outside of the wall, as opposed to a 'concealed' valve which is hidden within the wall cavity.
Troubleshooting
No water or low flow from shower head.
Check that the water supply is fully turned on. Ensure there are no kinks in the shower hose. Clean the shower head holes and check the valve's filters for blockages.
Water temperature fluctuates significantly.
Verify that the water pressure is within the recommended range. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly; it may need cleaning or replacement if issues persist.
Valve is leaking.
Check all connections for tightness. Inspect any seals or O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. If the leak is from the valve body itself, contact the manufacturer.
Chrome finish dull or discolored.
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the product is dried after cleaning to prevent water spots.
