FAQs
What is the purpose of the 'Blue' marker?
The 'Blue' marker on this superstructure is a visual indicator, often denoting a specific flow or temperature control setting or a particular trim set variant within the GROHE system. It helps ensure correct installation and identification.
Does this product include the concealed valve body?
No, this product is the superstructure (trim and handle) only. It requires a separate, compatible GROHE concealed valve body to be installed within the wall.
What is the maximum wall thickness this can accommodate?
The superstructure features an infinitely adjustable installation depth from 10mm to 35mm, allowing it to accommodate a wide range of wall thicknesses within that range.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly, then dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is this suitable for a bath or a shower?
This superstructure is designed for controlling water flow and temperature, making it suitable for both bath and shower applications, provided it is connected to the appropriate concealed valve and spout or shower head system.
What material is the handle made of?
The handle is made of metal, providing durability and a premium feel.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose
Check that the handle fixing screw is tightened securely. Ensure the superstructure is properly seated on the valve body.
Water flow inconsistent
Verify that the underlying concealed valve is fully open and functioning correctly. Check for any obstructions within the valve or pipework.
Superstructure protrudes too much or is recessed
Re-adjust the infinitely adjustable installation depth mechanism. Ensure it is set within the 10-35mm range suitable for the wall thickness.
