Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the minimum depth required for installation?

The shower valve requires a 35mm deep cavity space. The total fitting depth, including plasterboard and tiles, should be between 45mm and 75mm.

What is the maximum temperature the water can reach?

The maximum hot water supply temperature should not exceed 80°C. The thermostatic control ensures a safe and consistent output temperature during use.

Can this shower valve be used with combination boilers?

Yes, this valve is generally compatible with most UK heating systems, including combination boilers, provided they can supply adequate hot and cold water pressure.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this shower valve suitable for low water pressure systems?

While the valve has a thermostatic control, optimal performance is best achieved with adequate water pressure. Ensure your system meets minimum requirements for best results.

What is included with the shower valve?

The product is supplied with a metal back plate, metal handles, wall outlet, and the main shower valve unit.

What guarantee is provided?

The Bristan N2 SHCVO C shower valve comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent

Ensure the thermostatic mechanism is not blocked by debris. Check that the hot and cold water supplies are functioning correctly and at adequate pressure. Consult the manual for resetting the temperature limit if necessary.

Low water flow

Check for blockages in the showerhead or any inline filters. Ensure the valve controls are fully open. Verify that water supply pressures meet the recommended levels.

Valve is difficult to operate

Ensure the handles are not overtightened. If the issue persists, the internal components may require servicing. Contact a qualified plumber or the manufacturer.

Leaking from the valve

Check all connections for tightness. If the leak is from the valve body or controls, internal seals may need replacement. This may require front servicing.
