FAQs

What is a rigid riser shower system?

A rigid riser shower system features exposed pipework that connects the main valve to the shower head and handset, forming a visible vertical element rather than being concealed within the wall.

Is this system suitable for a power shower?

This system is designed to work with standard household water pressure. For optimal performance with a power shower or a system with very high pressure, consult the product specifications or a professional installer.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

What warranty is provided?

The thermostatic valve comes with a 15-year guarantee. Other components may have different warranty periods; please refer to the product documentation for full details.

Do I need to chase the wall for installation?

No, this is a surface-mounted system, meaning the pipework is installed on the surface of the wall, eliminating the need for wall chasing.

Can I replace just the shower head or handset later?

While the system is designed as a complete unit, individual components like the handset or shower head can often be replaced with compatible parts, provided they match the connection type and aesthetic.

What are the dimensions of the system?

The system measures 272mm wide, 1242mm tall, and 534mm deep.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the thermostatic valve has been correctly installed and is functioning properly. Check for any potential blockages in the hot or cold water supply lines leading to the valve. If issues persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Low water pressure from shower head or handset.

Verify that both hot and cold water supplies are fully open. Check the shower head and handset for any limescale buildup or debris that might be causing a blockage. Ensure your home's water pressure meets the system's requirements.

Matt black finish is damaged or discolored.

Cease using abrasive cleaning products immediately. Consult the product manual for specific cleaning recommendations for the matt black finish. If the damage is significant, contact RAK Ceramics customer support regarding warranty claims.

Rigid riser appears loose.

Carefully check the mounting points where the riser attaches to the wall. Ensure all fixings are secure. If the issue persists, professional adjustment may be required to re-secure the unit properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Professional installation is recommended due to the nature of plumbing and the thermostatic valve. Ensure water supply lines are accessible for connections. The surface-mounted design means the rigid riser and valve are affixed to the wall surface, with connections made to the existing hot and cold water feeds. Detailed installation instructions are typically provided with the product.

Compatibility: This system is designed to connect to standard UK household water systems (hot and cold). Ensure your water system can provide adequate pressure for optimal performance of both the overhead shower and handset. It is compatible with most standard shower enclosures and bath setups.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. For limescale buildup, use a specific bathroom limescale remover suitable for finished brass or stainless steel, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Regularly check the shower head and handset for any blockages and clean as needed.
