FAQs

What is the water pressure requirement for this shower kit?

The RAK Ceramics Sorrento shower kit requires a minimum of 1 bar and a maximum of 5 bar water pressure for optimal performance.

Can this shower kit be installed in a standard shower without a wall cavity?

No, this is a concealed shower kit, meaning the main valve body and pipework are installed within the wall. It is best suited for new installations or major renovations where a wall cavity is available.

How do I switch between the shower head and the handset?

There is a diverter control, typically integrated into the main valve or handle, which allows you to switch the water flow between the main shower head and the handset.

What is the warranty period for this product?

RAK Ceramics offers a 15-year warranty on this shower kit.

What material is the shower kit made from?

The shower kit is made from durable brass.

How should I clean the brushed gold finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners that can damage the finish.

Is the handset a separate function, or does it include the pull-out spray?

The handset includes the pull-out spray functionality.

Troubleshooting

No water or low flow from shower head/handset

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Ensure water pressure meets the 1-5 bar requirement. Check for blockages in the shower head, handset, or hose. Verify that the diverter between outlets is functioning correctly.

Water temperature fluctuates significantly

Confirm water pressure is stable and within the 1-5 bar range. Ensure the thermostatic valve has been installed correctly and is not obstructed. Allow the valve a minute to regulate after adjusting settings. If issues persist, the valve may require servicing or replacement.

Leaking from the concealed valve or outlets

If the leak is external, immediately turn off the water supply. Leaks from concealed valves typically indicate an issue with the internal seals or connections within the wall, requiring professional inspection and repair.

Brushed gold finish discolours or tarnishes

This is likely due to the use of improper cleaning agents. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish brushed gold finish complements modern bathrooms.
  • Dual shower functionality (head and handset) enhances user experience.
  • Thermostatic control ensures safe and stable water temperatures.
  • Concealed design offers a clean, uncluttered look.
  • WRAS approval indicates high quality and safety standards.
  • Durable brass construction promises longevity.

Cons

  • Requires concealed installation, making it less suitable for simple upgrades.
  • Specific pressure requirements (1-5 bar) may necessitate a pressure-equalizing valve or booster in some plumbing systems.
  • The pull-out spray functionality is integrated with the handset, not a separate feature.
  • Boxed weight (4.2kg) and product weight (3.15kg) indicate a substantial unit requiring secure mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shower kit is designed for concealed installation. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure the valve body is correctly recessed within the wall and all connections are secure. The kit requires connections for both hot and cold water supplies to the concealed valve.

Compatibility: The thermostatic valve operates optimally within a water pressure range of 1 to 5 bar. Ensure your home's water pressure meets these requirements. If pressure is too low, a shower pump may be necessary; if too high, a pressure-reducing valve might be considered. It is compatible with standard plumbing systems.

Care: To maintain the brushed gold finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale buildup, use a mild, non-abrasive descaler and rinse thoroughly.
