FAQs

What is a concealed shower valve?

A concealed shower valve has its main body installed within the wall, leaving only the controls and trim visible in the shower area. This provides a cleaner, more streamlined look.

Is this valve suitable for low-pressure systems?

While it can function on lower pressure systems, performance is generally best with adequate water pressure. Check the product specifications for minimum pressure requirements.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.

What is the warranty period?

This RAK Ceramics shower valve comes with a 15-year guarantee.

Can this valve be installed vertically?

This specific model is designed for horizontal concealed installation. Please refer to other models if vertical installation is required.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic plumbing tools are required, including pipe wrenches, screwdrivers, and potentially a sealant gun. Professional installation is recommended for concealed valves.

How do I adjust the maximum temperature?

There is usually a safety stop on the thermostatic control that can be adjusted to limit the maximum temperature. Refer to the specific installation manual for RAKPRT3023 for detailed instructions.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow

Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Ensure there are no blockages in the shower head or supply pipes. Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirements for the valve.

Water temperature is too hot or too cold

Adjust the thermostatic control carefully. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacing. Ensure the hot water supply is adequate.

Leaking from the valve

Check all connections for tightness. The internal seals or cartridge may be worn and require replacement. Professional assistance may be needed for concealed valves.

Controls are stiff or difficult to turn

The valve may need servicing or the cartridge may require cleaning or lubrication. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional plumber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a deck-mounted concealed valve, meaning the main body of the valve is installed within the wall, and the controls and trim are visible on the shower deck. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and connection within the wall cavity. Ensure you have adequate access to the plumbing behind the shower wall.

Compatibility: Designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires hot and cold water supplies.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly before drying with a soft cloth.
