Troubleshooting

No water flow from outlets

Ensure the main water supply is on. Check that the isolation valves within the concealed valve body are open. Verify that the controls are correctly positioned to select an outlet.

Inconsistent water temperature

The thermostatic cartridge may require cleaning or replacement if temperature fluctuations persist despite correct settings. Ensure the flow rate is sufficient, as low flow can affect thermostatic performance.

One outlet not working

Check if the correct control is being used to select that specific outlet. There might be a blockage in the pipework or the outlet diverter within the valve. Ensure the main shower head (if installed) is not creating a back-pressure issue.

Leaking from the valve body

If leaking from the wall, the valve body or its seals may be compromised, requiring access to the concealed unit for repair or replacement. If leaking from the controls, the valve seals might need attention.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a minimalist, modern bathroom design due to its concealed nature.
  • Provides a safe and comfortable showering experience with precise thermostatic temperature control.
  • Offers flexibility with dual outlet control, allowing users to switch between different shower functions.
  • Durable construction with premium brass and an elegant brushed nickel finish.
  • 15-year guarantee offers long-term peace of mind.

Cons

  • The main shower head is sold separately, requiring an additional purchase.
  • Concealed installation can be more complex and may require professional fitting.
  • Requires specific horizontal installation; not suitable for all shower setups.
  • Requires two outlets and two controls, which might be more than some users need.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation requires a concealed wall cavity for the valve body. It is designed for horizontal mounting. Professional plumbing installation is highly recommended due to the concealed nature of the valve and the need for precise water connections. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning installation.

Compatibility:

This valve is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires two water outlets and is designed to work with a separate main shower head (sold separately) and a shower handset. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance of both outlets.

Care:

To maintain the brushed nickel finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For limescale buildup, use a mild descaler and rinse thoroughly. Periodically check all connections for leaks.
