FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower valve?

The minimum water pressure required is 0.5 bar. For optimal performance and better flow rates, 1.0 bar or higher is recommended.

Can this valve be used with three shower outlets?

No, this specific model is designed and engineered for use with two outlets only.

How do I control the temperature and switch between outlets?

The top dial controls the diverter (switching between outlets) and the on/off function. The bottom dial is used to adjust and set the water temperature.

What does 'concealed' mean in this context?

Concealed means the main body of the valve is installed within the wall cavity, with only the controls and trim plate visible on the bathroom surface. This provides a cleaner, more minimalist look.

Is this valve suitable for a gravity-fed water system?

It is not ideal for standard gravity-fed tank systems unless a booster pump is installed to increase the water pressure to the recommended levels.

What materials is the valve made from?

The valve is constructed from high-grade, solid brass throughout, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.

What is the benefit of the anti-scald device?

The anti-scald device is a safety feature that helps prevent scalding by limiting the maximum temperature of the water, making showering safer for all users, especially children.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates significantly

Ensure the minimum required water pressure (0.5 bar, recommended 1.0 bar) is met. Check if the anti-scald device is functioning correctly or if the thermostatic cartridge needs cleaning or replacement.

Only one outlet works or diverter is stiff

Verify that the diverter mechanism is clear of debris. Ensure you are not exceeding the 2-outlet capacity. The internal diverter may require maintenance.

Low water flow from outlets

Check for blockages in the shower head or hose. Ensure the system pressure meets the minimum requirements. Clean any filters within the valve inlets if accessible.

Valve is difficult to install behind the wall

Consult the technical drawing for precise measurements and ensure adequate space and access for plumbing connections. Professional installation is recommended for concealed valves.

Leaking from controls or outlets

Inspect seals and connections. If leaks persist, the internal valve components or seals may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction ensures longevity.
  • Anti-scald device provides enhanced safety during use.
  • Supports multiple shower configurations with two outlets.
  • Easy to maintain and service due to its single cast body design.
  • Precise thermostatic control for consistent water temperature.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar (1.0 bar recommended).

  • Installation may require professional expertise due to concealed nature.
  • Technical drawings needed for precise dimension confirmation.
  • Only compatible with 2-outlet configurations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed valve, meaning it is installed behind the wall. Precise installation requires adherence to plumbing standards and potentially professional assistance. Ensure the rough-in depth is appropriate for the valve body. The hot and cold inlets are 3/4" and outlets are 1/2".

Compatibility: Suitable for all standard UK plumbing systems. A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is required; 1.0 bar is recommended for best results. It is not efficient on gravity-fed systems without a booster pump. It is designed for use with two outlets.

Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. Periodically check for any signs of wear or leaks, and ensure the diverter and temperature controls operate smoothly.
