FAQs

What is the main advantage of a thermostatic shower valve?

The main advantage is precise temperature control, ensuring a constant and safe showering temperature by automatically adjusting for pressure fluctuations and preventing scalding.

Does this valve come with a shower head?

No, the RAK Ceramics Amalfi Thermostatic Concealed Shower Valve is sold separately from the shower head and shower kit. These must be purchased independently.

What type of finish does this shower valve have?

This shower valve features a sophisticated brushed nickel finish, offering a modern and durable aesthetic.

Can this valve be used with a bath filler?

This valve is designed as a single-outlet shower valve and is not intended for use as a bath filler. It is best suited for shower applications only.

How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?

To clean, use a soft, damp cloth and wipe gently. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.

What is the warranty period for this RAK Ceramics valve?

The RAK Ceramics Amalfi Thermostatic Concealed Shower Valve comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Is professional installation required?

Yes, as this is a concealed valve, professional installation is required to fit the main body within the wall cavity.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water is flowing.

Check that the main water supply is on and that the shut-off valves for the shower are open. Ensure there are no blockages in the water inlets.

Water temperature is inconsistent or fluctuates.

Verify that the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Check for any significant pressure changes in the hot or cold water supply lines. Ensure the shower system is not overheating or having issues with the boiler.

Leaking from the controls or trim.

Inspect the seals and connections around the controls. If the leak persists, the internal cartridge may need replacement, which requires professional intervention.

Difficulty in turning the controls.

The controls may be stiff due to limescale buildup. Attempt a gentle clean. If resistance remains, internal components might require servicing or replacement by a qualified plumber.
