Product Information

Full details

This TEMEL thermostatic concealed shower mixer is designed for homeowners seeking a minimalist and modern aesthetic in their bathroom. Its key benefit is a clutter-free shower space due to its wall-mounted, concealed design, offering precise temperature control. A potential consideration is that installation requires wall recessing, making it best suited for new builds or significant renovations. The mixer valve features solid brass construction with ceramic disc technology, a slim rectangular backplate to hide pipework, and square dials with short levers for easy operation, directing water to two outlets.

FAQs

What is a concealed thermostatic shower mixer?

It is a shower valve where the main body is installed within the wall, with only the controls and trim plate visible on the surface. A thermostatic mixer precisely controls and maintains water temperature.

Can this mixer be installed in an existing shower without major work?

No, due to its concealed design, installation requires recessing the valve into the wall. It is best suited for new installations or renovations where wall access is available.

What maintenance is required for the valve?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Professional servicing of internal components may be needed periodically.

How do I switch between the two outlets?

The mixer features a diverter, typically controlled by one of the square dials or levers, allowing you to switch water flow between the two connected outlets (e.g., showerhead and hand shower).

What material is the mixer made from?

The mixer valve is constructed from solid brass for durability.

Does it come with the showerhead and controls?

This product is a mixer valve set, which includes the concealed valve, the slim backplate, and the square dials/levers. Separate showerheads and any associated pipework for them would typically need to be purchased independently.

Troubleshooting

Inconsistent water temperature

Check that the thermostatic control is set correctly and that there are no blockages in the showerhead or internal valve. Ensure your home's water pressure is stable.

Low water flow from outlets

Verify that the diverter is fully engaged for the selected outlet. Check for any kinks in flexible hoses (if used) and ensure the showerhead is not clogged with limescale.

Difficulty operating the levers

Ensure the handles are correctly fitted. If stiffness persists, internal valve components may require servicing or cleaning by a qualified plumber.

Leaking from the valve or outlets

If the leak is minor, check the seals and connections. For significant leaks, turn off the water supply and contact a professional plumber for inspection and repair of the internal valve.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires the valve to be recessed into the wall. This process typically involves cutting into the wall to accommodate the valve body and connecting it to your existing hot and cold water supply lines. Professional plumbing expertise is recommended for a correct and safe installation. The slim backplate is then fitted over the recessed valve.

Compatibility: This mixer is designed for standard UK plumbing systems. Ensure your water system can provide adequate pressure for optimal performance. It is compatible with a gravity-fed system, combi-boiler systems, and pumped electric systems, provided minimum pressure requirements are met.

Care: To maintain the finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome plating. Periodically check lever operation for smoothness. For internal cleaning, professional servicing may be required.
