FAQs
What is 'Safe Touch' technology?
Safe Touch technology means that the external surface of the shower valve remains cool during use, even when the water is hot. This is achieved through a unique internal design that channels cooler water around the valve body, preventing scalding risks.
How do I clean the brushed brass finish?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Can I adjust the height of the shower head?
Yes, the shower features a telescopic rigid riser rail, allowing you to adjust the height of the drench head to suit your preference and the height of users.
What is the purpose of the 38°C safety stop?
The 38°C safety stop is a feature of the thermostatic cartridge designed to prevent scalding, especially for children and vulnerable adults. It ensures the water cannot accidentally be turned up to dangerously high temperatures without an intentional override.
Do I need to buy any extra parts for installation?
No, the Bristan Quadrato is an 'all-in-one box' solution. It includes the bar shower valve, hose, telescopic riser rail, drench head, multi-function handset, and the Wallmount 12 fixing kit, so you have everything required for installation.
How do I remove limescale from the shower heads?
Both the drench head and the multi-function handset have rub-clean anti-limescale nozzles. To remove limescale, simply rub your finger or a soft cloth over the nozzles. This will dislodge any mineral buildup.
What water pressure is required for this shower?
This shower is suitable for most domestic water systems. For optimal performance, please refer to the technical specifications for minimum and maximum pressure requirements, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
No water or low water pressure from shower head
Check that the isolation valves in the Wallmount 12 kit are fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the shower hose. Verify that the thermostatic cartridge is not blocked and that your water system pressure meets the minimum requirements.
Water temperature is too hot or too cold
Adjust the temperature control dial. If the water is consistently too hot, check if the 38°C safety stop is engaged and ensure the override function is being used correctly. If it's too cold, check the hot water supply and the temperature control setting.
Diverter not switching between heads
Ensure the diverter is operated smoothly. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the mechanism. If issues persist, a professional inspection of the valve may be necessary.
Valve body feels hot to the touch
This indicates a potential issue with the Safe Touch technology or the water temperature. Ensure the water temperature is not excessively high and that the valve is installed correctly. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your water system is compatible (e.g., gravity-fed, pumped electric, fully modulating combination or high-pressure system). Consult a professional if unsure.
Utilize the Wallmount 12 fixing kit, which includes built-in isolation valves for easier installation and future maintenance.
Connect the hot and cold water supplies to the appropriate inlets on the bar valve.
Attach the telescopic riser rail, ensuring it is securely fixed to the wall.
Connect the shower hose to the valve outlet and then to the chosen shower head (drench head or multi-function handset).
Compatibility:
Suitable for most domestic water systems. Minimum and maximum system pressure recommendations should be checked against product specifications.
Designed for installation where plumbing access is available behind the wall.
Care:
Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
Periodically wipe the rub-clean nozzles on the drench head and handset with a finger or cloth to remove any limescale buildup. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
