FAQs

What is a thermostatic shower valve?

A thermostatic shower valve contains a mechanism that automatically regulates the water temperature, maintaining a set level regardless of pressure changes in the hot or cold water supply. This prevents sudden scalding or cold shocks.

Is this valve suitable for low water pressure systems?

While the valve works with most systems, it performs best with adequate and balanced water pressure. For very low pressure, performance may be reduced. Consult a professional if you have concerns about your home's water pressure.

What is the guarantee period for this shower valve?

The RAK Ceramics Amalfi shower valve comes with a comprehensive 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry immediately to prevent water spots and maintain shine.

What are the dimensions of the RAK Ceramics Amalfi shower valve?

The approximate dimensions are: Height: 6.2cm, Width: 27.7cm, Projection: 9.7cm.

Can I replace my old shower valve with this one?

This is a wall-mounted exposed valve. If your existing valve is also an exposed type in a similar location, replacement may be straightforward. However, it's always best to consult a plumber to confirm compatibility and ensure correct installation.

What material is the shower valve made from?

The shower valve is expertly crafted from solid brass with a polished chrome finish.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water is flowing from the shower head.

Check that the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open and that there are no blockages in the pipes or the shower hose.

Water temperature is not stable or is too hot/cold.

Ensure the thermostatic control is set correctly. Check for pressure fluctuations in the hot or cold water supply. If problems persist, consult a qualified plumber as the valve may require adjustment or servicing.

The valve is dripping from the shower outlet when not in use.

This could indicate an issue with the internal ceramic disc or thermostatic cartridge. Contact RAK Ceramics customer support or a qualified plumber for potential repair or replacement.

The chrome finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a wall-mounted, exposed thermostatic bar shower valve. Installation typically involves:

  1. Mounting the valve body to the wall using the provided fixings, ensuring it is level and secure.
  2. Connecting the hot and cold water supplies to the appropriate inlets on the valve.
  3. Connecting the shower hose to the G 1/2" outlet.

It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct water connections and system integrity.

Compatibility:

  • Water Systems: Suitable for most standard domestic water systems. Performance can be optimal with balanced water pressure.
  • Outlet Connection: Standard G 1/2" thread for compatibility with most shower hoses and heads.

Care:

  • Clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a clean cloth.
  • Periodically check for any signs of leaks around the connections.
