This HUDSON REED A8120 thermostatic shower valve and rigid riser kit is designed for users seeking a luxurious, traditional bathroom aesthetic with modern functionality. Its key benefit is the durable brushed brass PVD finish, offering excellent rust and corrosion resistance, coupled with an 8" rainfall showerhead for a spa-like experience. A potential caveat is the requirement for a minimum 0.5 bar operating pressure, which may necessitate a booster pump in low-pressure systems.

The kit includes the shower valve, rigid riser, and showerhead. Standard plumbing connections to your existing water supply are typically required and may need to be sourced separately depending on your setup.
This valve is designed for plumbed systems with adequate pressure (0.5 bar min). Compatibility with specific electric or power shower systems should be confirmed with a professional installer.
Check if the minimum 0.5 bar operating pressure is met. Ensure the showerhead holes are clear of limescale. Verify that no valves are partially closed.
Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water supply lines to the valve. If the issue persists, contact a professional plumber.
Inspect all connections for tightness. Ensure rubber seals and washers are correctly seated and undamaged. If leaks continue, a component may be faulty and require replacement.
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the product is not exposed to corrosive cleaning agents.
Setup: This wall-mounted shower valve and rigid riser kit is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the wall is prepared to support the unit. Follow the included diagrams carefully, paying close attention to water connections.
Compatibility: The system requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar. It is compatible with most standard UK plumbing systems, including combination boilers, unvented systems, and pumped gravity systems, provided the minimum pressure is met. Verify your home's water pressure before installation. Professional installation is recommended.
Care: To maintain the brushed brass PVD finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale buildup on the showerhead, use a mild descaler and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly. After each use, wiping the showerhead and valve dry can help prevent water spots.
