This B&Q Olive Square Concealed Thermostatic Shower Mixer Set is designed for homeowners looking to upgrade their bathroom with a modern, feature-rich thermostatic shower system. Its key benefit is providing precise temperature and flow control for a consistent and safe showering experience. A potential consideration is that concealed valves require specific installation considerations within the wall cavity. The set includes a thermostatic valve with easy-to-use dials, a 200mm square fixed shower head, a slide rail shower kit with a 1.5m hose, and a brass wall outlet elbow. It maintains temperature within +/-1ºC and features safety mechanisms like a 38ºC safety button and automatic shut-off.

Wipe the chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild, non-abrasive soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
The 38ºC safety button is a scald protection feature. It prevents the water from reaching dangerously high temperatures by default, requiring a deliberate push and turn to select hotter water.
Yes, this thermostatic valve is generally compatible with combi boilers, provided your boiler can supply adequate hot water flow and pressure to meet the shower's requirements.
The set includes a 200mm square fixed shower head.
It is recommended to check and clean the filters periodically, perhaps every 6-12 months, depending on your water quality. This helps maintain optimal performance and protects the thermostatic mechanism.
The included hose is a stainless steel 1.5m Double Interlock Hose, providing durability and flexibility.
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as these can vary.
Check that both hot and cold water supplies are fully turned on and that the water heater is functioning correctly. Ensure the hot water supply is connected to the correct inlet on the valve. Clean the thermostatic mechanism filters.
Check for blockages in the shower head holes or the hose. Ensure the filters on the valve inlets are clean. Verify that the water supply valves are fully open and that there are no kinks in the hose.
This could indicate an issue with the internal cartridges or seals. Turn off the water supply and inspect the valve components. Professional servicing may be required.
The safety stop is designed to prevent scalding. To override, firmly push and turn the temperature control dial past the 38ºC mark. If it remains stuck, there may be an internal issue requiring professional attention.
This function triggers if the cold water supply fails. Check that both hot and cold water supplies are stable and present. If the issue persists, it may indicate a problem with the pressure-balancing mechanism.
Setup:
Installation of the concealed thermostatic valve requires recessed space within the wall. It is strongly recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber. Ensure the water supply lines are correctly connected to the hot and cold inlets of the valve. The depth of the valve within the wall should accommodate its casing and allow for secure fixing.
Compatibility:
This mixer set is designed with UK standard size fittings. It is compatible with most standard UK domestic plumbing systems. It requires both a hot and cold water supply. The operating pressure range should be considered based on your home's water system.
Care:
To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the valve and shower components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal cleaning, the filters protecting the thermostatic mechanism can be accessed and cleaned periodically to ensure optimal performance. Refer to specific cleaning instructions for shower heads and hoses to prevent limescale build-up.
