FAQs

What type of shower valve do I need for this kit?

This Balterley kit is designed specifically for use with exposed shower valves. It will not work with concealed shower valves.

Can I use this kit with a combi boiler?

Yes, this kit can be used with a combi boiler, provided it is connected to a suitable exposed shower valve that is compatible with your boiler system and provides adequate water pressure.

How do I clean the chrome and white finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks or limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner or a dedicated limescale remover, rinsing thoroughly afterwards.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer's policy for specific warranty details, as these can vary.

Does this kit come with the exposed valve?

No, this kit includes the rigid riser, fixed head, and handset with a diverter. The exposed shower valve needs to be purchased separately.

Can the height of the riser rail be adjusted?

The rigid riser rail is typically a fixed height designed for standard installation. Minor adjustments to the overhead shower position might be possible depending on the specific arm, but the main rail height is set.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow from shower head or handset

Check that the diverter is fully engaged for the selected outlet. Ensure there are no kinks in the handset hose. Clean any potential blockages in the shower head or handset nozzles. Verify that the connected exposed valve is fully open and functioning correctly.

Diverter not switching between outlets

Ensure the diverter mechanism is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the diverter may require replacement or professional servicing.

Leaks from connections

Carefully check and tighten all threaded connections. Ensure rubber washers or seals are present and in good condition. If leaks persist, apply plumber's tape to the threads before re-tightening.

Riser rail feels unstable

Re-secure the wall mounting brackets, ensuring they are fixed firmly into the wall or suitable wall plugs. Check that all fixing screws are tightened.
