FAQs

What is a thermostatic concealed shower valve?

A thermostatic concealed shower valve has its main body hidden within the wall, offering a clean look. The thermostatic element automatically maintains a set water temperature, ensuring safety and comfort.

Can I use both outlets at the same time?

Yes, this valve is designed to supply water to two separate outlets simultaneously, allowing you to use a shower head and a handset, for example, at the same time.

Does this come with a shower head?

No, the main shower head is sold separately. However, it does come supplied with a matching handset.

What material is the valve made of?

The valve is expertly crafted from high-quality, robust brass.

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

This RAK Ceramics shower valve comes with a 15-year guarantee.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean the finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the surface.

Is this valve suitable for low-pressure systems?

While the valve itself is designed for performance, optimal operation with dual outlets and consistent temperature control is best achieved with adequate system water pressure. Consult with your installer for specific system requirements.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water to outlets

Check that the water supply valves are fully open and that there are no blockages in the pipes or filters.

Inconsistent water temperature

Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. If issues persist, it may require cleaning or replacement. Check for balanced hot and cold water pressure.

Low water flow from outlets

Inspect the filters within the valve connections for any debris or sediment. Ensure the main shower head and handset are not the cause of the restriction.

Difficulty switching between outlets

Check that the diverter mechanism is functioning smoothly. Ensure no debris is obstructing its movement. Professional inspection may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed shower valve, meaning the main body is installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting and prevent leaks. Ensure your plumbing system is compatible with thermostatic valves and that there is adequate space within the wall for the concealed unit.

Compatibility: The valve is designed for use with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires connections for hot and cold water supply and has two outlets for connecting shower hoses and shower heads. Please note that the main shower head is sold separately and must be compatible with the valve's outlet specifications.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For internal components, regular servicing as per manufacturer recommendations will ensure optimal performance.
