FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

The Hudson Reed Tec Twin Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve comes with a 20-year manufacturer's guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials.

Can this valve be used with a combination boiler?

Yes, it is suitable for use with fully modulated combi-boilers.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the look.

What does 'concealed' mean in this context?

'Concealed' means the main body of the valve is installed behind the wall, leaving only the controls and spout visible for a cleaner look.

Is the reversible cartridge difficult to install?

The reversible cartridge is designed to simplify installation. If hot and cold supplies are initially connected incorrectly, the cartridge can be rotated to correct this without re-plumbing.

What happens if I have very hard water?

The patented cartridge is resistant to calcium build-up, which helps maintain performance even in hard water areas. However, regular cleaning is still recommended.

How many water outlets can this valve control?

This valve is designed with a diverter and can control two separate water outlets, such as a fixed shower head and a handheld shower.

Troubleshooting

Inconsistent water temperature

Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is clean and free from limescale. Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve, although the reversible cartridge mitigates this.

Low water flow rate

Verify that the water system pressure meets the minimum requirements. Check for any blockages in the shower head, hoses, or within the valve itself. Ensure the diverter is fully engaged with the desired outlet.

Diverter not switching outlets smoothly

Inspect the diverter mechanism for debris or limescale build-up. Ensure the activation is firm and complete.

Valve body is difficult to access after installation

This is inherent to concealed valves. Ensure all necessary access panels or trim pieces are correctly fitted during installation for future maintenance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent flow rates even at low water pressure.
  • Offers full thermal protection to prevent scalding.
  • Easy installation due to the reversible cartridge, saving time and potential re-work.
  • Resilient design resistant to calcium build-up in hard water areas.
  • Sleek, minimalist aesthetic ideal for modern bathrooms.
  • Backed by a 20-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to prevent damage to fittings.
  • Concealed design means access for maintenance is within the wall.
  • Two outlets may require separate plumbing considerations for diverter functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires the valve body to be concealed within the wall. Ensure all connections are made securely, paying close attention to the correct orientation as per the installation manual. The reversible cartridge means initial plumbing errors can be corrected without extensive re-piping.

Compatibility: This valve is suitable for all water systems, including:

  • Gravity Fed
  • Pumped
  • Unvented
  • High Pressure
  • Fully Modulated Combi-Boilers

Care: Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish. Periodically check the flow and temperature regulation, and if performance degrades, consider cleaning the cartridge as per the manufacturer's instructions, especially if you have hard water.

Important Note: Extra care must be taken during installation to avoid damaging the fittings. Professional installation is recommended.
