FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower mixer?

The Hansgrohe 13116670 requires a minimum water pressure of 1 Bar to operate effectively.

Can this mixer be used with a bath spout?

This thermostatic mixer is designed specifically for controlling a single shower head and is not intended for use with a bath spout.

How does the safety stop work?

The safety stop is a feature that limits the maximum hot water temperature to 40°C, preventing accidental scalding. You can override this limit if needed by pressing a button, but it requires a deliberate action.

Is this mixer suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, this mixer is designed for high-pressure systems (minimum 1 Bar) and will function optimally under such conditions.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean the matt black surface using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent damage to the finish.

What type of installation does this mixer require?

This is an exposed installation mixer, meaning it mounts directly onto the wall surface and connects to existing water outlets.

Does this mixer come with shower hoses or a shower head?

This product is the thermostatic shower mixer valve itself. Shower hoses and shower heads are typically sold separately and need to be purchased in addition to this mixer.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not stable.

Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1 Bar. Check that hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and functioning. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

Water is too hot, even when set lower.

Verify that the safety stop is engaged and functioning correctly. Ensure the maximum temperature setting is not bypassed. If the mixer consistently delivers water above 40°C, despite correct setting, contact a professional for inspection.

Leaking from the valve.

Check all connections for tightness, particularly where the hoses connect to the valve and the wall supply. Ensure any seals or washers are correctly seated and not damaged. If leaks continue, professional servicing may be required.

Low water flow from the shower head.

Clean the shower head itself for any blockages. Check the filter on the inlet side of the thermostatic mixer for debris and clean if necessary. Ensure the water pressure is adequate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This thermostatic shower mixer is designed for exposed installation. It connects to your existing hot and cold water supply via flexible connection hoses (G ½ thread). Ensure your plumbing is compatible with this type of connection.

Compatibility: This model is suitable for high-pressure water systems only, requiring a minimum pressure of 1 Bar. It is designed to control one shower head.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale removal, use a mild, vinegar-based cleaner and wipe clean with a soft cloth afterwards. Regular cleaning will help preserve the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the mixer.
