FAQs

What is a thermostatic shower mixer valve?

A thermostatic shower mixer valve is a device that automatically regulates the water temperature to your desired setting. It mixes hot and cold water and has an internal mechanism that maintains a consistent temperature, preventing sudden changes and ensuring safety.

How do I control the temperature and flow?

This valve features two separate round dials with short levers. One dial controls the water temperature, and the other controls the water flow. You can adjust them independently for a personalized shower experience.

What is the benefit of the concealed design?

The concealed design means the main valve body and pipework are hidden within the wall. Only the slim backplate and control dials are visible, creating a sleek, modern, and uncluttered look in your bathroom.

Can this valve be used with any shower head?

Yes, this valve is designed to supply water to two outlets. You can connect compatible shower heads, body jets, or other shower accessories to these outlets. Ensure your chosen accessories are suitable for your home's water pressure.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This product comes with a 10-year guarantee from NES Home, covering manufacturing defects.

What material is the valve made from?

The valve is constructed from solid brass, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, and features ceramic disc technology for reliable operation.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe the chrome surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the reflective surface.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or water is too cold.

Check that the hot water supply is functioning correctly. Ensure the temperature dial is set to the desired level and hasn't been inadvertently turned down. Verify that the thermostatic element is not faulty.

Water temperature fluctuates significantly.

Ensure the main hot and cold water supplies are balanced and adequate. If pressure fluctuates widely, the thermostatic mechanism may need adjustment or servicing. Check for any blockages in the water lines or filters.

Low water flow from outlets.

Check the flow control dial to ensure it's fully open. Inspect the outlets (showerhead, etc.) for limescale buildup and clean as necessary. Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the pipework leading to the valve.

Dripping from the valve or outlets when closed.

This usually indicates an issue with the ceramic disc cartridges or seals. These may need to be replaced. Turn off the water supply before attempting any internal repairs.

The mixer valve makes noise during operation.

Some mild noise might be normal, but loud whistling or banging could indicate high water pressure or a restriction in the flow. Check water pressure and inspect for obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides consistent and safe shower temperatures.
  • Offers independent control over water flow and temperature.
  • Creates a clean, minimalist look by concealing pipework.
  • Durable construction with solid brass and ceramic discs.
  • Easy-to-use controls with a modern design.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for concealed pipework.
  • May be more complex to repair than surface-mounted valves.
  • Limited to two outlets.
  • Chrome finish requires regular cleaning to maintain its sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed thermostatic shower mixer valve. Installation requires accessing the wall cavity to connect the main water supply lines and route them to the valve body. The slim rectangular backplate then mounts to the wall, concealing all connections and pipework. Due to the nature of concealed installation, professional plumbing expertise is highly recommended to ensure proper connections, leak prevention, and adherence to local building codes.

Compatibility: The valve is designed to connect to standard UK plumbing systems. It requires a hot and cold water supply. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance, though the thermostatic mechanism helps regulate flow even with moderate pressure fluctuations.

Care: To maintain the mirror-like sheen of the chrome finish, regularly clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. For internal components like ceramic discs, regular maintenance is typically not required if installed correctly, but annual checks for any potential issues are advisable.
