FAQs

What is a concealed shower valve?

A concealed shower valve has its main body hidden within the wall, with only the controls and trim plate visible externally. This provides a clean, minimalist look and protects the working parts of the valve.

What does 'thermostatic' mean for a shower valve?

Thermostatic means the valve automatically maintains a set water temperature, adjusting for fluctuations in hot and cold water supply. This prevents sudden temperature changes, ensuring safety and comfort.

Can I use this valve with a power shower?

Yes, this valve is generally compatible with various water systems, including pumped systems like power showers, provided your system can supply adequate and consistent water pressure.

What shower components are included with this valve?

This product is for the concealed valve body and trim only. The shower head, shower hose, and handset are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to this valve.

How do I clean the brushed gold finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth.

What is the guarantee period for this RAK Ceramics valve?

This RAK Ceramics Amalfi shower valve comes with a 15-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

How do I divert water between the two outlets?

The valve typically has a secondary control or a diverter function integrated into one of the main controls, allowing you to switch the water flow between the two connected outlets (e.g., shower head and handset).

Troubleshooting

No water or low flow from outlets

Check that the main water supply is on. Ensure the stop valves within the concealed unit are open. Verify that the shower head and hose are not blocked or kinked. Confirm water pressure meets minimum requirements.

Temperature is too hot or too cold, or fluctuates

Ensure the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Check for any debris that may be affecting the thermostatic cartridge. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

Difficulty switching between outlets

Inspect the diverter mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the controls are being operated smoothly and fully. If the diverter is stiff or unresponsive, it may require professional attention.

Leaking from the valve or trim plate

Turn off the water supply immediately. Check all external connections and seals. If the leak is from the valve body itself, professional repair or replacement of internal seals or the entire valve may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Due to its concealed nature, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended. The valve requires a suitable recess within the wall cavity. Ensure all pipework connections are correctly made according to local building regulations and manufacturer guidelines.

Compatibility:

This valve is compatible with most standard UK water systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, and unvented systems. However, it is essential to check your water pressure and flow rates to ensure optimal performance. The shower kit, shower head, hose, and handset are sold separately and must be compatible with a dual-outlet valve system.

Care:

To maintain the brushed gold finish, clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water before drying with a soft cloth. Regular cleaning will preserve the aesthetic appeal and longevity of the finish.
