FAQs
Is this unit compatible with non-Keuco faucets?
No, the Keuco Ixmo Up Function Unit is specifically engineered for compatibility with the Keuco Ixmo range.
Can this be installed in a thin wall?
The installation depth is specific to the unit's dimensions; you must ensure your wall depth accommodates the base body before beginning the installation.
Is it possible to replace the internal parts later?
Yes, the modular design allows for access to certain internal components through the trim area for servicing, depending on the specific model of the Ixmo fitting used.
Does this include the external trim handle?
No, the Ixmo Up Function Unit is the base body (rough-in) only; the external trim and handles must be purchased separately.
What is the primary material of the unit?
The unit is made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials suitable for long-term use inside bathroom walls.
Troubleshooting
Fixture feels loose after installation
Ensure the securing screws on the trim set are tightened to the function unit and check that the unit itself is rigidly mounted to the wall framing.
Water leaking at the wall interface
Verify that all plumbing connections were properly sealed with thread sealant or gaskets during the initial installation phase and check the integrity of the wall seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Keuco Ixmo Up Function Unit should always be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all connections meet local building codes. Before installing, ensure the wall is reinforced to support the weight of the valve and the future trim set. Compatibility is strictly limited to Keuco Ixmo series fittings, as the internal threads and dimensions are proprietary to the system. For maintenance, since the core is flush-mounted, keep the area around the escutcheon plate free from heavy chemical cleaners that could damage the finish of the external parts. Periodic checks of the connections inside the wall are not necessary if installed correctly, but ensure that the plumbing pressure is managed properly to prevent water hammer, which could stress the internal seals over time.
