FAQs

Can I use this for both showers and bath mixers?

Yes, the kit is designed to support both bar shower valves and standard wall-mounted bath mixer taps.

Does this kit include wall screws?

The kit includes the mounting plates; please ensure you select screws and wall plugs appropriate for your specific wall type.

Is this compatible with all shower valves?

It is designed for standard valves with industry-standard 150mm spacing.

Does the kit hide the pipework?

No, this is an exposed mounting system designed for stability rather than concealment.

How do I prevent corrosion on the plate?

Avoid using bleach or abrasive cleaners; wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry to maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

The bar valve feels loose after installation

Ensure the mounting plate screws are fully tightened and the wall plugs used are appropriate for the wall material.

Minor leaks occurring at the pipe connection

Check that the rubber sealing washers are correctly positioned and that the nuts are tightened sufficiently with a plumbing spanner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases stability for bar shower valves
  • Simplifies installation process for plumbing beginners
  • Prevents strain on internal pipework connections
  • Versatile fit for most standard bathroom fixtures
  • Corrosion-resistant material for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Not suitable for aesthetic concealed installations
  • Requires exposed wall space for mounting
  • Wall surface must be structurally sound for secure mounting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your supply pipes are terminated at the correct distance for your shower valve. Secure the mounting plate to the wall using appropriate wall plugs and screws suitable for your wall type (e.g., masonry or stud). Connect the pipe tails to the valve inlets, ensuring all washers are seated correctly to provide a watertight seal.

Compatibility: This kit is compatible with most standard 150mm center-to-center bar valves.

Care: Periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight. To clean, use only a soft damp cloth to wipe the plate, as harsh abrasive chemicals may damage the surface finish.
