Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates during use

Verify that your hot and cold water supplies are balanced and that there are no kinks in the supply lines.

Ensure the 15mm compression nuts are tightened correctly and that the olives are properly seated on the pipes.

Shower flow is weak

Inspect the shower handset for limescale buildup and ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirements for the system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, timeless Edwardian aesthetic
  • Thermostatic safety mechanism for temperature stability
  • Flexible pipe center adjustments from 135mm to 160mm
  • High-quality brass construction with chrome plating
  • Includes a matching traditional riser rail and handset

Cons

  • Requires existing plumbing to fall within the 135mm-160mm range
  • Design may not fit ultra-modern bathroom themes
  • Traditional ceramic handle may require careful handling compared to lever styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard 15mm compression fittings. Ensure that your water supply pressure is balanced for optimal performance. Because the unit features a chrome finish, avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. Instead, clean the valve and riser rail with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water, then buff dry with a microfiber towel to maintain the shine. Regularly check the ceramic handle connection to ensure it remains tight and free of mineral buildup.
