Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the minimum wall cavity depth required?

The valve requires a minimum cavity depth of 35mm. With plasterboard and tiles, the total fitting depth should be between 60mm and 75mm.

How do I switch between the two shower outlets?

The valve features an integral two-outlet diverter. Operate the diverter control on the valve to switch between the connected outlets.

Can I service the filters myself?

Yes, the filters require rear access to the valve for servicing. Ensure you have adequate space behind the valve before installation if frequent filter maintenance is anticipated.

Is this shower valve suitable for a high-pressure system?

The valve is designed to work with standard UK water pressures. Ensure your system's hot and cold water supply temperatures are within the specified ranges (min 4°c cold, max 80°c hot).

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Gently wipe the Luminance Chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the surface.

Can the cartridge be replaced easily?

Yes, the cartridge is designed to be accessed from the front of the valve, simplifying replacement or maintenance procedures.

What materials is the valve made from?

The valve is constructed from brass with a Luminance Chrome finish.

Troubleshooting

No water or low flow from outlets

Check that both hot and cold water supplies are turned on. Ensure filters are clean and not blocked (requires rear access). Verify water pressure meets minimum requirements.

Difficulty switching between outlets

The integral diverter may be stiff. Ensure the valve is correctly installed and try operating the diverter lever firmly. If the problem persists, cartridge access from the front may allow for inspection or cleaning.

Temperature is too hot or too cold

Check the temperature of your incoming hot and cold water supplies. Ensure the maximum hot water temperature does not exceed 80°c and the minimum cold water is above 4°c. Adjustments may be needed at the water heater or supply.

Leaking from the valve body

Ensure all connections are secure. If the leak appears to be from the cartridge area, it may require front access for inspection or replacement.
