Product Information

Full details

The Valway Round Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower Valve is an ideal choice for homeowners and renovators seeking a reliable, sleek, and temperature-stable showering solution. Designed for modern bathrooms, it utilizes thermostatic technology to maintain a steady water temperature, effectively preventing sudden fluctuations caused by changing water pressure elsewhere in the home. While it provides excellent control and durability, users should ensure their plumbing system meets the minimum pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar to achieve optimal flow performance.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature is fluctuating

Check that the inlet filters are clean and that hot/cold supply pressures are within the 0.5-5.0 Bar range.

Water flow is very weak

Verify that your water system meets the 0.5 Bar minimum operating pressure and check for any blockages in the shower head or supply pipes.

Temperature control handle feels stiff

Ensure that the internal cartridge is free of limescale buildup; if necessary, descale using a mild, non-corrosive solution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent water temperature prevents uncomfortable cold or hot spikes
  • Separate flow and temperature controls are intuitive to operate
  • 5-year guarantee offers peace of mind regarding manufacturing defects
  • Fits standard 150mm plumbing pipe centres
  • Wide operating pressure range from 0.5 Bar to 5.0 Bar

Cons

  • Requires a minimum pressure of 0.5 Bar for effective operation
  • Limited to a bottom-outlet configuration only
  • Professional installation recommended to ensure proper alignment and seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard wall-mounting procedures. The valve is designed to connect to plumbing with pipe centres of 150mm +/- 18mm, which accommodates most standard existing shower pipework. Ensure that the G1/2" or G3/4" inlet connections are tightened correctly using appropriate plumbing tape to prevent leaks.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the silver finish.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the plating.
  • Periodically check the inlet filters if you notice a drop in flow rate to ensure no sediment or debris is blocking the water intake.
