FAQs

What shower components are not included with this valve?

The shower valve itself does not include the shower handset, handset holder, body jets, or outlet elbow. These components must be purchased separately.

How long is the manufacturer's guarantee?

Hudson Reed provides a 20-year guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided the valve is installed, cared for, and used according to instructions. This excludes serviceable parts which may have a shorter warranty.

Can this shower valve be fitted in any bathroom?

Yes, it is suitable for all water systems (gravity fed, pumped, unvented, combi-boilers) and can be installed vertically or horizontally, making it highly adaptable to different bathroom layouts.

What happens if the hot or cold water supply fails?

The valve is equipped with a safety feature that automatically shuts down the water supply in the event of a hot or cold water failure, preventing scalding and providing full thermal protection.

Is this valve suitable for hard water areas?

Yes, the patented cartridge is highly resistant to calcium build-up, making it an excellent choice for areas with hard water, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

What is the minimum water pressure required for this valve?

The valve operates effectively even at low pressures, with a minimum requirement of 0.1 Bar.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe the finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the polished look.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is correctly installed and that there are no blockages in the hot or cold water inlets. Check that water pressure is stable from the mains supply.

Water does not shut off completely when turned off.

This may indicate a worn seal or a problem with the cartridge. Inspect the cartridge for debris or damage. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Low water flow from the shower.

Verify that the minimum required water pressure (0.1 Bar) is being met. Check for any kinks in the supply hoses or blockages within the shower head or valve inlets. Ensure the cartridge is clean and free from limescale.

Valve emits noise during use.

Some noise can be normal, especially at lower pressures. However, loud or unusual noises may indicate a partially blocked valve or air in the system. Consult a plumber if the noise is concerning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires careful attention to avoid damaging fittings. Due to the concealed nature and safety features, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure optimal performance and to comply with the manufacturer's warranty. Ensure all connections are made according to the provided instructions.

Compatibility: This valve is compatible with all standard UK water systems, including gravity fed, pumped, unvented high pressure, and fully modulated combi-boilers. It requires a minimum of 0.1 Bar water pressure for operation. Pipe connections are standard 15mm (1/2" BSP).

Care: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the polished chrome finish. The cartridge is designed for low maintenance due to its calcium build-up resistance, but periodic checks and cleaning of associated shower components may be necessary.
