The Triton Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower is designed for homeowners seeking a reliable, safe, and easy-to-install shower upgrade. Its key benefit is precise thermostatic temperature control, ensuring a comfortable and safe showering experience for all users, even with fluctuating water pressures. A potential caveat is its 150mm standard centres, which while ideal for replacements, may require minor adjustments for new installations. This shower features a durable construction, WRAS and TMV2 approval, and includes a convenient Fast Fit Easy Kit for simplified installation.

Yes, this thermostatic bar mixer shower is designed to work with all pressure systems, including gravity-fed (low pressure) systems, providing enhanced performance and safety.
The Fast Fit Easy Kit simplifies the installation process by reducing the need for in-wall support battens and minimizing the risk of leaks, as critical joints are made outside the wall.
Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically remove and clean the shower head nozzles to prevent limescale buildup.
The kit includes the thermostatic bar mixer valve, a chrome stainless steel adjustable riser rail, a 3-mode shower head, a 1.5m shower hose, and a soap dish.
The Triton bar valve is backed by a 5-year parts and labour guarantee, ensuring confidence in its long-lasting performance.
Yes, the thermostatic valve includes a maximum temperature stop that can be adjusted during installation to prevent scalding, particularly important for households with children.
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product meets the water supply regulations in the UK. TMV2 (Thermostatic Mixing Valve Type 2) approval signifies that the valve meets stringent performance and safety standards for thermostatic mixing valves.
Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the shower head is not blocked by limescale; clean the nozzles. Verify that the hose is not kinked. Confirm compatibility with your existing water pressure system.
Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check that the maximum temperature stop has not been incorrectly set. If problems persist, consider professional inspection as there might be an issue with the internal valve mechanism or the incoming water temperatures.
If the leak is from the connections, ensure they are securely tightened. If the leak is from the valve body itself, check if the seals are damaged or if the unit requires replacement. Leaks from the Fast Fit Kit connections should be addressed immediately by re-sealing or checking the fittings.
While designed for 150mm centres, slight variations may occur. Ensure the wall is prepared to accommodate the new valve and Fast Fit Kit. Refer to the installation manual for specific guidance on retrofitting.
Setup: The included Fast Fit Easy Kit is designed to streamline installation. It typically involves securing the valve to the wall without the need for extensive in-wall support, with connections made externally. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning any installation. Follow the detailed instructions provided with the Fast Fit Kit for optimal results.
Compatibility: This bar mixer shower is suitable for all pressure systems, including gravity-fed, unvented mains pressure, and instantaneous gas heated systems (combination boilers). It features standard 150mm pipe centres, making it a direct replacement for many existing Triton bar mixer showers.
Care: To maintain the appearance and performance of your shower, clean the valve and shower head regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically check for any limescale build-up on the shower head nozzles and clean them gently. The durable chrome finish can be maintained with a mild soap solution.
