The dual thermostatic control allows you to independently adjust water temperature and flow rate, ensuring a consistent and personalized shower experience. It also works in conjunction with safety features to maintain a stable temperature.
The anti-scald technology monitors the water temperature and automatically shuts off the hot water supply if there is a sudden drop in cold water pressure, preventing scalding injuries.
While the design is traditional Victorian, the chrome finish and clean lines can complement some modern aesthetics. However, its exposed nature is best suited for bathrooms aiming for a classic or vintage look.
This valve is generally compatible with most standard UK gravity-fed and mains-fed water systems, provided the water pressure is within the manufacturer's recommended range.
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For limescale, a diluted vinegar solution can be used carefully, followed by rinsing and drying.
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
No, this is an 'exposed' shower valve, meaning it is designed to be mounted on the surface of the wall with the pipes visible. It is not intended for concealed or built-in installation.
Check that the main water supply is turned on and that the isolation valves for the shower are open. Ensure there are no blockages in the supply pipes.
Verify that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Ensure the anti-scald mechanism is engaged and that water pressure is stable. Check for any debris in the valve mechanism.
Turn off the main water supply. Check and tighten all connections. Replace any worn or damaged seals or washers. Ensure appropriate plumbing tape or sealant was used during installation.
Inspect the shower head and valve inlets for any blockages or limescale buildup. Clean or replace any clogged filters or aerators.
Setup: This valve is designed for exposed installation. Ensure that your hot and cold water supply lines are accessible and correctly positioned on the wall surface where the valve will be mounted. Follow the manufacturer's installation manual carefully, using appropriate plumbing fittings and sealants to prevent leaks. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with shower valve fitting.
Compatibility: The valve typically requires standard UK plumbing connections. It is compatible with most gravity-fed and mains-fed water systems. Ensure your water pressure is within the recommended operating range specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical detergents, as these can damage the surface. For limescale buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be used sparingly, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
