Product Information

Full details

This FNX Bathrooms Complete Douche Kit in Brushed Brass is designed for homeowners seeking a safe, stylish, and efficient shower solution. Its key benefit is the integrated 90-degree turn isolator valve, which prevents pressure buildup and extends component life. A potential caveat is its recommendation for balanced water pressure, meaning it performs best with specific plumbing setups. The kit includes a handset, wall outlet cover, and an anti-twist hose, offering a complete and durable addition to modern bathrooms.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the purpose of the integrated 90-degree turn isolator valve?

The isolator valve automatically cuts off the water supply when the handset is placed in its holder. This prevents constant pressure on the trigger and internal components, which helps to prevent leaks and extend the lifespan of the handset and hose.

What water pressure is recommended for this douche kit?

The kit is recommended for balanced water pressure systems of approximately 0.5 bar for optimal and safe performance.

Does the kit come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, the complete kit includes the handset, a wall outlet cover, and a 1.2-meter anti-twist hose, providing all essential components for setup.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Wipe the finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.

What is the warranty on this product?

FNX Bathrooms offers a Lifetime Warranty on this douche kit, providing assurance of its durable construction and long-lasting performance.

Can this be used as a primary shower head?

No, this product is specifically designed as a bidet shower for personal cleansing. It is not intended to function as a main shower head for rinsing the entire body.

What are the dimensions of the handset unit?

The compact handset unit measures Height 145mm x Width 20mm x Depth 56mm.

Troubleshooting

No water flow from the handset

Ensure the water supply is on and the 90-degree isolator valve on the handset holder is turned to the 'on' position.

Low water pressure

Check if the water supply pressure meets the recommended 0.5 bar. Ensure no kinks are present in the hose. Verify that the isolator valve is fully open.

Handset leaks

Check the connection of the hose to the handset and the wall outlet for tightness. Inspect the handset's trigger for wear or debris. Ensure the isolator valve is fully closed when not in use to prevent long-term pressure stress.

Isolator valve is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the water supply is turned off and the system is drained. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the valve mechanism. Test its movement again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends product life through integrated pressure-relief system.
  • Stylish brushed brass finish complements modern bathroom aesthetics.
  • Complete kit simplifies installation.
  • Easy one-handed operation.
  • Durable construction backed by a lifetime warranty.

Cons

  • Recommended for balanced water pressure (0.5 bar), which may require adjustments for some plumbing systems.
  • Requires manual operation of the isolator valve when storing the handset.
  • Primarily a functional bidet shower, not a primary shower head for full-body rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Check Water Supply: Ensure your water supply is turned off before starting installation.
  2. Connect to Outlet: Connect the wall outlet to your existing water line. The kit includes a wall outlet cover for a clean finish.
  3. Attach Hose: Screw the 1.2m anti-twist hose to the wall outlet and the handset.
  4. Mount Handset Holder: Securely mount the handset holder, ensuring it is positioned to easily engage the isolator valve when the handset is stored.
  5. Test: Turn the water supply back on and test for leaks. Operate the isolator valve to ensure it functions correctly.

Compatibility:

  • Water Pressure: Recommended for balanced systems operating around 0.5 bar. It may function at higher pressures but is optimized for this range to maximize component longevity.
  • Plumbing: Designed to connect to standard UK plumbing fittings.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks. Ensure the isolator valve moves freely; if it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the valve mechanism (ensure water is off and system is drained first).
