The Architeckt Thermostatic Concealed Round Shower is designed for homeowners seeking a minimalist and modern bathroom aesthetic with a luxurious shower experience. Its key benefit is the concealed valve, which hides plumbing for a clutter-free look. A potential caveat is the need for in-wall installation, requiring professional setup. This system integrates a round pencil handset, an overflow bath filler, and a triple outlet mixer valve, all crafted with durable materials like brass and stainless steel, featuring thermostatic temperature control for consistent comfort.

A concealed shower valve is a type of shower control where the main working parts are installed within the wall, leaving only the controls and shower head/handset visible on the surface. This creates a cleaner, more minimalist look.
Yes, this shower valve is designed to work with standard UK water systems (gravity-fed, combination boilers, and unvented systems), but it's always best to check the specific minimum/maximum water pressure requirements.
Most thermostatic valves have a safety stop, typically set around 38°C, which can be overridden by pushing past it. For permanent adjustment, consult the installation manual or a professional plumber, as this often involves accessing the valve mechanism.
Due to the concealed nature of the installation, professional plumbing expertise is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting, sealing, and compliance with building regulations.
Regular cleaning of the shower head and handset is advised. The thermostatic cartridge may require periodic descaling or replacement, typically every few years depending on water hardness. Professional servicing is recommended.
The triple outlet mixer valve allows you to select and control up to three outlets. Whether they can run *simultaneously* depends on your home's water pressure and flow rate. Often, it's designed for one primary outlet (like the main shower head) and one secondary (like the handset or bath filler) to run together effectively.
The shower handset is made from 304-grade stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure all isolation valves within the system are open. Verify that no other outlets are running simultaneously if only one is intended. Check for blockages in the shower head, handset, or internal filters.
Ensure the thermostatic control has been correctly set and calibrated. Check for any potential blockages or debris within the thermostatic cartridge. If problems persist, the cartridge may need cleaning or replacement by a professional.
Verify that the correct diverter is selected if applicable to your specific model's control. Check for blockages in the specific outlet or its connecting pipework. Ensure the triple outlet valve is functioning correctly; professional inspection may be required.
This indicates a potential issue with the valve seal or pipe connections behind the wall. Shut off the main water supply immediately and contact a qualified plumber for diagnosis and repair. Access to the valve will be necessary.
Setup: This is a concealed shower valve system, meaning it requires in-wall installation. Professional plumbing installation is highly recommended due to the need for precise pipework and wall recessing. Ensure the wall cavity is of sufficient depth to house the valve body and associated plumbing.
Compatibility: The system is designed as a triple outlet mixer shower valve. It connects to your home's hot and cold water supply. Compatibility with specific shower heads, handsets, and bath fillers should be confirmed, though the system is designed to work with standard plumbing connections.
Care: Clean the chrome and stainless steel surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the finish. For the internal components, regular servicing by a qualified plumber is advised to ensure the thermostatic valve continues to function optimally. Check and clean any aerators or filters as part of routine maintenance.
