FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

The Nuie Edwardian Twin Exposed Shower Valve comes with a 5 Year Guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials.

Is this valve suitable for very low water pressure systems?

Yes, the valve offers excellent flow rates even at low pressure, making it suitable for most systems, including gravity-fed ones.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Can this valve be used with an electric shower?

This valve is designed for use with plumbed water systems (gravity-fed, combi-boilers, etc.) and is not compatible with electric showers, which have their own integrated heating elements.

What does 'exposed' mean for a shower valve?

An exposed shower valve means that the main body of the valve and its pipework are visible on the surface of the wall, rather than being hidden behind it (concealed).

How does the thermostatic control work?

The thermostatic element mixes hot and cold water to maintain a set temperature. It automatically adjusts the mix if water pressure fluctuates to keep the temperature consistent.

Is installation difficult?

Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are not experienced, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe installation.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not stable

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are adequate and balanced. Check that the thermostatic cartridge is not blocked by debris or limescale. Clean or replace the cartridge if necessary.

Low water flow

Verify that water pressure is sufficient for your system type. Check the showerhead and the valve's internal filters for any blockages or limescale buildup. Ensure the hot and cold water inlets are fully open.

Valve is dripping when turned off

This could indicate a worn or damaged seal within the valve or cartridge. Turn off the water supply, dismantle the valve, and inspect/replace the relevant seals or the entire cartridge.

Automatic shut-off engages unexpectedly

This safety feature activates during a significant drop in either hot or cold water supply. Check for temporary interruptions in your main water supply or issues with your water heater.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise and stable water temperature control.
  • Enhanced safety features with automatic shut-off.
  • Reliable performance even in hard water areas.
  • Suitable for a wide range of plumbing systems.
  • Durable construction built to last.
  • Aesthetically pleasing traditional design.

Cons

  • Exposed valve design may not suit all bathroom styles.
  • Requires adequate water pressure for optimal performance.
  • Installation might be more complex than concealed valves.
  • Chrome finish requires regular cleaning to maintain shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This shower valve is designed for universal compatibility and can be used with:

  • Gravity-fed systems
  • Pumped systems
  • Unvented high-pressure systems
  • Fully modulated combi-boilers

Setup: Installation involves connecting the hot and cold water inlets to the exposed valve body. Ensure all connections are secure and follow standard plumbing practices. Due to its exposed nature, careful consideration of pipework aesthetics is recommended.

Care Instructions: To maintain the pristine finish of your Nuie Edwardian shower valve:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and soap residue.
  2. Avoid Abrasives: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome finish.
  3. Limescale Removal: For stubborn limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome or bathroom fixtures. Apply to a cloth, not directly to the valve, and wipe clean. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
  4. Annual Check: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks or wear.
