FAQs

What is the diameter of the shower head?

The shower head has a diameter of 173mm.

Does this set come with a shower valve?

No, this is a shower head set and requires a separate shower valve and compatible plumbing system for installation.

How long is the shower hose?

The included stainless steel shower hose is 1500mm (1.5 meters) in length.

Can I change the shower head to a different model while keeping the arm?

Yes, as long as the replacement shower head uses a standard 1/2" BSP connection, it should be compatible with the included hose and shower arm.

Is the shower arm adjustable?

The shower arm itself is fixed, but the shower head features a pivot hinge that allows for angle adjustment.

How do I clean the shower head to prevent limescale?

The shower head features rub-clean nozzles. Gently rub these nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any limescale buildup.

What material is the shower hose made of?

The shower hose is made of durable stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure from the shower head

Check the shower head for limescale buildup on the rub-clean nozzles and clean them. Ensure the stainless steel hose is not kinked. Verify that the main water supply to the shower is fully open and that your shower valve is functioning correctly.

Leaking from connection points

Ensure all connections (shower arm to wall, hose to arm, hose to head) are securely tightened. If leaks persist, check that any rubber washers or seals are present and correctly seated. For persistent leaks, a small amount of PTFE tape may be applied to the male threads before tightening.

Shower head is not directing water correctly

Adjust the angle using the pivot hinge. If the spray pattern is uneven, clean the rub-clean nozzles as described in the care instructions.

Shower arm feels loose on the wall

Ensure the shower arm connector is securely fixed to the wall outlet. If the wall outlet itself is loose, it may require professional attention to secure it properly within the wall.

  • Adds a touch of luxury and modern spa feel to the bathroom.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This shower set is designed for straightforward installation into existing shower systems. Ensure your water supply is turned off before starting.

  1. Attach the Shower Arm: Secure the chrome-plated shower arm (360mm) to your wall outlet using the pre-attached connector. Ensure it is firmly tightened.
  2. Connect the Hose: Screw one end of the 1500mm stainless steel hose onto the outlet of the shower arm. Hand-tighten, then use pliers for a final quarter-turn if necessary.
  3. Attach the Shower Head: Connect the other end of the hose to the 173mm diameter shower head.
  4. Turn on Water: Restore the water supply and check for any leaks at all connection points. Adjust the pivot hinge on the shower head to your desired angle.

Compatibility:

The set features a universal 1/2" B.S.P connection, making it compatible with most standard UK and European shower valves and plumbing systems. Ensure your existing shower valve can supply adequate water pressure for an overhead shower.

Care:

To maintain the shine and performance of your Croydex Traditional Rain Head Set:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the finish.
  • Limescale Removal: Gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to remove any limescale buildup. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
  • Hose Care: Periodically check the hose for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure it is not kinked excessively.
