What is the temperature safety stop set at?

Does this shower come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, the pack is comprehensive and includes the shower valve, hose, hose retainer, riser rail, and a single-function handset.

How do I clean the anti-limescale handset?

You can easily remove limescale and debris by rubbing your finger or a soft cloth over the rubber nozzles on the handset.

Can I adjust the height of the riser rail?

The riser rail is adjustable to accommodate different user heights and preferences. Specific adjustment details can be found in the product manual.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty documentation provided with the product for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.

Can this shower be used with combi boilers?

This shower is generally compatible with most UK water systems, including combi boilers, provided the water pressure is adequate. It is advisable to check your system's compatibility with the manufacturer's guidelines.

What is the maximum distance between pipework centres this shower can accommodate?

The adjustable elbow inlets allow for existing pipework centres between 110mm and 155mm.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent

Check that the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no blockages in the filters or the showerhead. Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are adequate and balanced.

Low water flow from the handset

Clean the rub-clean handset nozzles by rubbing them with a cloth or finger. Check the hose and valve for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the water pressure to the shower is sufficient.

Valve is leaking

Turn off the water supply immediately. Check all connections for tightness. If the leak persists, the internal seals or cartridge may need replacing. Contact a qualified plumber for assistance.

Shower drips after use

Ensure the shower controls are fully in the 'off' position. If dripping continues, there might be an issue with the internal valve mechanism or a worn seal within the cartridge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit includes all essential shower components.
  • Designed for straightforward installation, adaptable to existing pipework.
  • Built-in safety features prevent scalding with a preset temperature stop.
  • Easy maintenance thanks to the rub-clean anti-limescale handset.
  • Durable, scratch-resistant chrome finish ensures longevity and easy cleaning.

Cons

  • The handset is single-function, limiting spray pattern options.
  • Exposed valve installation requires specific plumbing considerations.
  • While adaptable, significant pipework deviations may still require adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure water supplies are turned off before installation. The adjustable elbow inlets allow for pipework centres between 110mm and 155mm. Follow the included manufacturer's instructions carefully for connecting the valve, hose, and riser rail. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber.

Compatibility: This is an exposed shower valve, meaning the valve body is visible on the wall. It is designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance. The adjustable inlets offer flexibility with existing pipework.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For the rub-clean handset, periodically rub your finger or a cloth over the nozzles to dislodge any limescale build-up. Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks.
