Product Information

Full details

This wall-mounted bath tap filler shower mixer is designed for those seeking a traditional aesthetic in their bathroom. It offers the dual functionality of a bath tap and a shower mixer with convenient crosshead controls. A potential caveat is its reliance on conventional screw-down valve mechanisms, which may require more frequent maintenance compared to ceramic disc valves. Key features include durable chrome-plated brass construction, a rotatable 'S' type spout, and a 150cm shower hose.

Troubleshooting

No water flow from spout or shower head

Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure the valve handles are fully open. Verify that there are no blockages in the inlet pipes or the shower head/spout.

Dripping from spout or shower head when closed

The screw-down valve mechanisms may require servicing. Turn off the water supply and carefully dismantle the valve. Clean any debris and inspect the rubber seals. Replace seals if they are worn or damaged.

Poor water mixing (too hot or too cold)

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected. Check the temperature of the incoming hot water. If pressure is uneven between hot and cold, this may affect mixing. Consider installing check valves if backflow is an issue.

Low water pressure from shower head

Unscrew the shower head and check for blockages or limescale buildup. Clean the shower head thoroughly. Ensure the shower hose is not kinked or damaged. Check the main water pressure to the property.

  • Combines bath filling and showering functions in one unit.
  • Durable chrome-plated brass construction ensures longevity.
  • Includes all necessary fittings for a complete installation.

Cons

  • Conventional screw-down valves may require more frequent maintenance than modern alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This mixer is designed for wall mounting. Ensure you have existing wall connections for hot and cold water supply at the correct spacing. Connect the water inlets to the corresponding hot and cold feeds and secure the unit to the wall using the provided fittings and gaskets. Attach the spout and shower hose as per the installation diagram.

Compatibility: The mixer uses standard 1/2" BSP threading for water connections. It is compatible with standard UK and European plumbing systems. It requires adequate water pressure for optimal performance.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. Periodically check valve seals for wear, especially given the conventional screw-down mechanism, and replace if necessary.
