FAQs

Is this kit suitable for replacing an old riser rail?

Yes, the adjustable fixing bracket is specifically designed to help align with existing mounting holes, making it ideal for replacing older rails with minimal fuss.

What material is the shower handset made of?

The shower handset is made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) with a chrome finish.

How long is the shower hose?

The shower hose included in this kit is 1.5 meters long.

Can I change the spray settings on the handset?

Yes, the handset features 3 different spray modes, which can typically be changed by rotating a part of the handset head.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or the seller's website for details.

Does this kit require specific water pressure to function well?

While the kit is designed for standard domestic water pressure, optimal performance, especially for the different spray modes, is best achieved with adequate pressure. Very low pressure might limit the effectiveness of some modes.

Troubleshooting

Shower handset dripping after use

Ensure the handset is properly seated on its bracket. Some models may have a slight residual drip after shutting off the water.

Low water pressure from the handset

Check for blockages in the shower hose or handset spray plate. Ensure water supply is fully on and compatible with the system. Clean any limescale buildup.

Riser rail feels loose on the wall

Tighten the screws on the fixing brackets. If the wall anchors are not secure, consider using appropriate wall plugs for your wall type (plasterboard, tile, etc.).

Hose leaks at connection points

Ensure the rubber washers are present and correctly seated in both ends of the hose. Tighten the connections firmly but do not overtighten, which could damage the threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with stainless steel components.
  • Adjustable rail height accommodates various users.
  • Versatile 3-mode shower handset for personalized experience.
  • Easy installation, especially as a replacement unit.
  • Complete set includes rail, hose, and handset.

Cons

  • May require adequate water pressure for best performance of all modes.
  • ABS handset, while chrome-plated, is less durable than solid metal.
  • Hose length might be limiting for very large shower enclosures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify existing mounting points or select new positions for the brackets.
  2. Use the adjustable fixing brackets to secure the riser rail to the wall. Ensure the brackets are level and firmly attached.
  3. Connect the shower hose to the handset and the appropriate water outlet (typically from the shower valve).
  4. Attach the top end of the hose to the riser rail.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed to connect to standard UK shower plumbing connections. Ensure your existing shower valve or mixer can supply water to a riser rail system.

Care:

  • Clean the stainless steel rail and chrome handset regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surfaces.
  • Periodically check the hose connections for any leaks.
  • If water flow becomes weak, check the handset's spray plate for limescale buildup and clean as necessary.
