FAQs
Do I need to buy a separate shower valve?
Yes, the Milano Elizabeth Traditional Rigid Riser Shower requires a separate exposed thermostatic shower valve to control water temperature and flow. This is not included with the rigid riser unit.
What are the exact dimensions of the shower unit?
The dimensions are W 194mm x D 516mm x H 1230mm.
Can this shower be used with a concealed shower valve?
No, this specific model is designed for use with an *exposed* shower valve, meaning the valve body is visible on the wall.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
Is the hand shower height adjustable?
Yes, the telephone-style hand shower comes with a bracket that allows you to adjust its height along the rigid riser to suit your needs.
What material is the shower made from?
It is constructed from premium quality lead-free solid brass with a durable black powder-coated finish.
What plumbing systems is this shower compatible with?
It is compatible with all types of UK plumbing systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, and high-pressure systems.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from shower head
Check that the diverter is fully engaged for the overhead shower. Ensure the connected shower valve is functioning correctly and the main water supply is adequate. Clean any potential blockages in the shower head nozzles.
Hand shower height adjustment is stiff
Gently try to adjust the height. If resistance persists, check for any obstructions. Ensure the bracket holding the hand shower is clean and free of debris.
Water leaking from connections
Turn off the water supply and carefully re-tighten all connections, ensuring any washers or seals are correctly seated. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.
Diverter is difficult to switch
Ensure the diverter mechanism is not obstructed. Sometimes, mineral buildup can cause stiffness; a mild descaler might help, followed by rinsing. If it remains stiff, professional inspection may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This rigid riser shower is designed to be installed vertically. It requires connection to an exposed shower valve (sold separately). Ensure the water supply lines are correctly connected to the valve and the riser. Professional installation is recommended to ensure a secure and leak-free fit.
Compatibility: The Milano Elizabeth shower is compatible with all standard UK plumbing systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, and high-pressure systems. It is specifically designed for use with exposed shower valves, which house the temperature and flow controls externally.
Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder coating. For limescale, use a mild solution of water and white vinegar, rinsing thoroughly afterwards. Periodically check all connections for leaks.
