Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a mild descaler on the shower head.

Yes, the valve is designed to handle a range of pressures and its thermostatic control will ensure a safe and consistent temperature even in high-pressure environments.
This model features a fixed shower head as part of the rigid riser kit and does not include a separate handset.
Check that the water supply is on and that the main isolation valves are open. Ensure the inlet pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar. Clean any filters or aerators if present.
Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve inlets. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that any seals or washers are correctly seated and not damaged. If leaks persist, consider professional plumbing assistance.
This can sometimes occur due to residual water. Ensure the valve is fully closed. If dripping is excessive, check for any blockages in the shower head or internal valve components.
Setup: Installation requires connecting the adjustable inlet elbows to your hot and cold water supplies. Ensure the water is isolated before beginning. Mount the riser rail and attach the shower head. Follow the included manual for precise fitting instructions.
Compatibility: This valve is designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems. It performs optimally with a minimum inlet pressure of 0.5 bar, making it suitable for low-pressure systems. The adjustable inlet elbows (110-155mm) accommodate various existing pipework configurations, aiding in retro-fit installations.
Care: Clean the valve and shower head regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish. For limescale build-up, a mild descaler can be used on the shower head nozzles. Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
