Is this valve suitable for combi-boilers?

Yes, it is suitable for use with fully modulated combi-boilers, as well as other water systems.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow

Check that the main water supply is on. Ensure the minimum pressure requirements (0.1 Bar) are met. Verify that the stop valves within the shower system are open. Check for any blockages in the system or at the shower head.

Water temperature is inconsistent

Confirm the thermostatic control is set correctly. Ensure water pressure is stable and within the operational range (0.1 - 3.0 Bar). If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.

Anti-scald feature activates unexpectedly

This feature activates if there is a sudden loss of hot or cold water supply. Check your home's main water pressure and supply lines for any interruptions or significant fluctuations.

Difficulty turning handles

Handles may become stiff due to limescale buildup. Periodically clean the valve trim and handles. If stiffness persists, the internal valve components may require servicing or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise and stable water temperature control.
  • Enhanced safety with automatic shut-off to prevent scalding.
  • Sleek, minimalist aesthetic that complements modern bathrooms.
  • Suitable for a wide range of plumbing systems.
  • Easy maintenance due to calcium-resistant cartridge.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to its concealed nature.
  • Depth may require specific wall cavity considerations (72-85mm).
  • Only controls two outlets, not suitable for more complex multi-outlet systems without additional components.
  • Replacement parts might require specific manufacturer knowledge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Installation requires access to the internal plumbing and should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure correct fitting and sealing. The valve body is designed to be concealed within the wall, with only the handles and trim plate visible externally. Ensure the wall cavity depth accommodates the valve's dimensions (72-85mm). The inlet connections are 15mm and 1/2 BSP.

Compatibility: This valve is compatible with all common water systems, including:

  • Gravity Fed
  • Pumped
  • Unvented
  • High Pressure
  • Fully Modulated Combi-Boilers

Minimum operating pressure is 0.1 Bar, with a maximum of 3.0 Bar.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal maintenance, the patented cartridge can be removed and rotated 180 degrees if supplies are reversed, or replaced if necessary. The manufacturer provides a 20-year guarantee against faulty workmanship and materials, provided the product is installed and maintained according to instructions.
