Yes, this valve is compatible with systems operating between 0.5 and 5 bar pressure, which typically includes systems with shower pumps, provided the pressure does not exceed the maximum limit.
The minimum recommended water pressure for this valve to function effectively is 0.5 bar.
No, this product is for the concealed shower valve only and does not include a shower handset, hose, or riser rail.
This is a single outlet valve, meaning it is designed to control one shower function (e.g., a fixed shower head). It is not suitable for systems with multiple outlets like body jets or a separate bath filler without additional diverting valves.
The valve body is constructed from durable brass, and it features a chrome finish.
The concealed nature of the installation requires access within the wall. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitting and avoid potential issues.
Check that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar). Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is clean and free from limescale; consider descaling or replacing if necessary. Verify that no other appliances are significantly altering water flow elsewhere in the house during use.
Check for blockages in the shower head itself. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. If the issue persists, it may indicate a problem with the internal workings of the valve or the pipework.
First, turn off the water supply. Inspect all connections and seals for damage. If the leak appears to be from the valve body or cartridge, it may require replacement by a qualified plumber.
Ensure the handle is correctly attached. If the controls feel stiff or loose, there may be an issue with the internal mechanism or cartridge, which might need professional attention.
Setup: The RAK Washington Concealed Single Thermostatic Shower Valve requires installation within the wall cavity. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's detailed installation guide, ensuring proper waterproofing and access for maintenance. Due to its concealed nature, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended. Ensure the rough-in dimensions are correctly accommodated within the wall.
Compatibility: This valve is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems and requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar and a maximum of 5 bar. It is designed for a single shower outlet.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal maintenance, the concealed design allows for access to serviceable parts once the trim is removed, typically requiring a plumber.
