FAQs

Can this valve be mounted vertically?

Yes, the valve is engineered for versatile installation, allowing for either vertical or horizontal mounting.

What is the required pipe centre distance?

The valve is compatible with pipework requiring 45mm centres.

Does this unit come with a shower hose?

The valve includes a standard 1/2 inch shower hose connection, but the hose itself is generally purchased separately unless specified by your retailer.

What is the recommended pressure range?

This valve operates efficiently within a pressure range of 0.5 to 5 bar.

Is the body made of plastic or metal?

The body is constructed from solid brass to provide high durability and longevity.

Is this suitable for a standard home bathroom?

While designed for caravans and small bathrooms due to its size and mounting style, it can function in any bathroom provided the 45mm centre plumbing requirement is met.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates significantly

Ensure that the hot and cold water supplies are at consistent pressures; if the pressure difference is too high, install a pressure reducing valve.

Water flow is very weak

Verify that your water system meets the minimum 0.5 bar pressure requirement and check the inlet filters for any debris blockages.

Valve leaking at the wall connection

Ensure the wall plates are flush against the wall and the connections are tightened properly with suitable plumbing sealant or PTFE tape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction
  • Flexible vertical or horizontal mounting options
  • Anti-scald thermostatic safety control
  • Includes necessary wall plates and drilling template

Cons

  • Requires specific 45mm pipework centres
  • Not suitable for low-pressure systems below 0.5 bar
  • Limited to small bathroom or caravan applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this valve is straightforward if the existing plumbing aligns with the 45mm centre requirement. Use the provided drilling diagram to mark your wall points before fixing the wall plates. The unit supports both vertical and horizontal orientations; ensure the inlets are securely tightened to prevent leaks. For care, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners on the brass body, as these can damage the finish. Instead, wipe the surface down with a soft, damp cloth and buff dry. Periodically check the hose connection and the filter inlets for mineral build-up, especially in hard water areas, to ensure the thermostatic cartridge continues to function smoothly.
