What is a concealed thermostatic shower valve?

A concealed thermostatic shower valve has its main components installed within the wall, leaving only the controls visible. It regulates water temperature precisely for safety and comfort.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

The valve requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 Bar to function effectively.

How do I clean and maintain the matt black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that can damage the finish.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

The RAK Ceramics Petit Round Concealed Thermostatic Valve comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer. Serviceable parts have a 2-year guarantee.

Can I install this myself?

Due to its concealed nature, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitting and function.

What are the dimensions of the valve?

The visible part of the valve is approximately 100mm in height and 100mm in width. The depth required within the wall is between 74mm and 94mm.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow

Check that the stop valve (sold separately) is fully open. Ensure water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1.0 Bar. Verify there are no blockages in the connected pipework.

Temperature fluctuates significantly

Confirm the valve is correctly installed and functioning as a thermostatic unit. Ensure the water supply is balanced and not experiencing extreme pressure changes from other fixtures. For persistent issues, consult a professional plumber.

Matt black finish is damaged or discolored

Cease using abrasive cleaners immediately. Clean gently with a damp, soft cloth. If the finish is permanently damaged, contact the manufacturer or a bathroom specialist for repair or replacement options.

Valve is difficult to operate

Ensure the handles are correctly fitted and not obstructed. If stiffness persists, it may indicate an internal issue. Professional servicing might be required.

  • Provides safe and consistent water temperatures thanks to its thermostatic technology.
  • Built with high-quality brass for long-term durability and reliability.
  • Contributes to a minimalist look by hiding plumbing components within the wall.

Cons

  • Requires a separate purchase of an on/off stop valve.

  • Only one shower control is integrated into this valve.
  • Requires a minimum pressure of 1.0 Bar to operate effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed valve, meaning the main body is installed within the wall. Ensure the wall cavity is prepared to house the valve's depth (74-94mm). A separate on/off stop valve (sold separately) is required for complete functionality. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended due to the concealed nature of the unit.

Compatibility: Requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 Bar. It is designed for wall-mounted installation. Ensure your existing plumbing can accommodate a concealed thermostatic valve and that you have the necessary stop valve.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For internal components, routine servicing may be required as per manufacturer guidelines, with serviceable parts covered by a 2-year guarantee.
