Due to the concealed installation, professional plumbing installation is highly recommended to ensure proper setup and adherence to building codes.

What material is the shower valve made from?

Does the thermostatic feature prevent scalding?

Yes, the thermostatic technology is designed to maintain a safe, consistent water temperature and protect against sudden, potentially scalding temperature changes.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or insufficient hot water

Check that the hot water supply is functioning correctly and that the thermostat is set to a desired temperature. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1.0 bar.

Temperature fluctuations during shower

Verify the thermostatic element is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no other water-using appliances or fixtures causing significant pressure changes. If the issue persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Low water flow

Check for any blockages in the showerhead or pipework. Ensure the water pressure is adequate (minimum 1.0 bar). The valve itself may require servicing if blockages are not the cause.

Valve is stiff or difficult to operate

The internal cartridge may require cleaning or replacement. It is recommended to contact a professional plumber for servicing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Installation requires a concealed wall cavity to house the valve body. Ensure all connections are made according to local plumbing regulations and manufacturer guidelines. Professional installation is recommended due to the concealed nature of the valve.
