FAQs
What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower kit?
The minimum operating pressure required is 1 Bar.
Is this shower kit suitable for traditional or modern bathrooms?
This kit is specifically designed to complement traditional bathroom aesthetics, but its clean lines can also fit well in transitional or minimalist designs.
Can I adjust the height of the main shower head?
No, this is a rigid riser kit, meaning the main shower head height is fixed. The height is determined by the riser rail's position on the wall.
What type of shower valve is compatible with this kit?
It is designed for use with concealed shower valves and requires a concealed elbow for installation.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to prevent scratching.
What is covered by the 5 Year Guarantee?
The manufacturer provides a 5 Year Guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, excluding serviceable parts, provided the product is installed and used according to instructions.
Does this kit include the shower valve?
No, this is a rigid riser shower kit and does not include the shower valve. A compatible concealed shower valve must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from the shower head or handset.
Verify that the system meets the minimum 1 Bar operating pressure. Check for any blockages in the shower head, handset, or hose. Ensure the concealed valve and elbow are correctly installed and not restricting flow.
The rigid riser is loose on the wall.
Check the wall fixings and ensure they are securely tightened. If the wall material is weak, consider using stronger anchors or reinforcing the mounting points.
Leaking from connections.
Ensure all threaded connections are properly sealed with PTFE tape or appropriate sealant. Check that the hose and handset are screwed on tightly.
Difficulty in switching between handset and main shower (if applicable via valve).
This depends on the connected shower valve. Ensure the valve's diverter mechanism is functioning correctly. Consult the manual for your specific concealed shower valve.
