The RAK Ceramics Petit Square Chrome Thermostatic Rigid Riser and Handset Shower System is ideal for homeowners seeking a modern, complete shower solution with consistent temperature control. Its key benefit is the thermostatic valve that prevents scalding and ensures a stable shower experience. A potential caveat is that it is a surface-mounted system, which may alter the aesthetic compared to concealed options, though this also simplifies installation. This comprehensive system includes a thermostatic valve, rigid riser, overhead shower head, and shower handset, all featuring a sleek, square profile and polished chrome finish designed for contemporary bathrooms.

A rigid riser system has visible pipework that extends from the wall to the shower head, forming an intentional design feature rather than being concealed within the wall.
No, this system does not include a shower pump. It is designed to work with your existing water system, provided it delivers adequate pressure for the thermostatic valve to function effectively.
The thermostatic valve comes with a 15-year guarantee. Other components may have different warranty periods; please refer to the product documentation for full details.
While the thermostatic valve works best with adequate pressure, it is designed to function across various systems. However, optimal performance, especially consistent temperature regulation, is achieved with sufficient water pressure. Consult a professional if you have a very low-pressure system.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish. For limescale, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
This system is designed for standard water systems. While it can be used with a power shower setup, it's crucial to ensure compatibility and adequate pressure regulation to protect the thermostatic valve.
Thermostatic means the shower valve automatically mixes hot and cold water to maintain a pre-set temperature. This prevents sudden temperature changes, ensuring safety and comfort, especially for children and the elderly.
Ensure the thermostatic valve has been correctly installed and that water supply pressures are within the recommended range. Check for any blockages in the shower head or handset. If the problem persists, consult a professional plumber.
Check the shower head and handset for any limescale buildup and clean them according to care instructions. Verify that the stop valves feeding the shower are fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hose if applicable.
Check all connections, especially where the riser attaches to the wall and where the shower head/handset connect. Ensure all seals and fixings are tight. If leaks persist, professional inspection is required to identify the source.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes.
Setup: This is a surface-mounted system, meaning the pipework is visible and attaches to the wall. No internal wall chasing is required, simplifying installation. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct plumbing and secure mounting. Ensure your water supply lines are accessible and meet the requirements for connecting the thermostatic valve.
Compatibility: The system is designed to work with standard UK plumbing connections. It is compatible with most combi boilers, gravity-fed systems, and unvented systems, provided adequate water pressure is available for the thermostatic valve to function optimally. Always check your home's water pressure and system type before installation.
Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly clean the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the finish. For limescale buildup, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner or a vinegar-based solution, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
