Troubleshooting
Valve is leaking
Ensure all connections are tightened securely. If the leak persists, the ceramic headpart may need replacement or professional inspection.
Difficulty turning the valve handle
Check if the water pressure is too low (below 1.0 bar). If pressure is adequate, debris may be present; professional cleaning or replacement might be necessary.
No water flow when valve is open
Verify that the valve is fully open (180° rotation). Check for any blockages in the connected supply lines or fixture.
Installation depth issues
Ensure the valve is within the 25-80mm adjustable range. If the wall is outside this range, consider alternative mounting solutions or consult a professional.
