FAQs
What type of shower valve do I need for this kit?
This Luxury Rigid Riser Shower Kit is designed specifically for use with an exposed triple shower valve. The diverter is not included within the kit itself.
Does the kit include a diverter?
No, the diverter is not included in this kit. It is designed to be used in conjunction with an exposed triple shower valve that provides the diverter function.
How do I clean the Victorian-style showerhead?
Clean the showerhead using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For limescale, use a gentle descaler and wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is this shower kit suitable for modern bathrooms?
While functional, its Victorian-inspired design with apron-style heads is best suited for traditional or classic bathroom aesthetics. It may not complement minimalist or modern decor.
What is the main benefit of a rigid riser system?
A rigid riser system provides a fixed, sturdy vertical column from the water outlet to the showerhead, offering a clean, elegant look and consistent positioning compared to flexible hoses.

No, this kit is specifically designed for use with exposed shower valves and will not be compatible with concealed valve systems.
What materials is the kit made from?

Troubleshooting
Low water flow from showerhead
Check the showerhead for limescale build-up and clean if necessary. Ensure the water supply is adequate and the exposed valve is fully open. Verify that no kinks are present in internal pipework.
Inconsistent water temperature
Confirm that the connected exposed triple shower valve is functioning correctly and is properly balanced. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water inlets to the valve.
Riser rail is loose
Ensure the wall fixings are secure and appropriate for your wall type. Tighten any visible screws or mounting brackets according to the installation guide.
Water leaks from connections
Check that all threaded connections are properly sealed with PTFE tape and have been tightened sufficiently. Inspect seals and washers for damage and replace if necessary.
