Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not stable

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for any obstructions in the hot or cold water supply lines. If issues persist, consult a professional plumber.

Low water flow from shower head or handset

Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Check that the outlets are not blocked by limescale; clean the rub-clean nozzles on the drencher head and check the handset for blockages. Ensure the diverter is fully engaged for the selected outlet.

Difficulty switching between outlets

Inspect the diverter mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Ensure smooth operation by cleaning any visible debris. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.

Valve is leaking

Check all connections to ensure they are secure. Leaks from the concealed part of the valve may require wall access for repair by a qualified professional.

  • Space-saving concealed design is perfect for smaller bathrooms.
  • Thermostatic control ensures a safe and consistent shower temperature.
  • Dual outlet functionality offers versatility in shower experience.
  • Durable construction with solid brass and stainless steel components.
  • Easy maintenance with rub-clean nozzles on the drencher head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed valve, meaning the main body is installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and connection to water supplies. The external trim and controls are then fitted for a sleek finish.

Compatibility: The valve is designed for standard plumbing systems with an inlet connection size of G1/2". It operates effectively with a minimum water pressure of 0.5 Bar and a maximum of 5.0 Bar. Ensure your hot and cold water supplies are correctly plumbed before installation.

Care: The polished chrome finish can be easily cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. For the drencher head, the rub-clean nozzles allow for simple maintenance by gently rubbing them to remove any limescale buildup. Regularly check connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
