Bristan Artisan Thermostatic Bar Shower Valve - SHXMTFF

The Bristan Artisan Thermostatic Bar Shower Valve requires a minimum water pressure of 0.2 Bar for optimal performance.

The Eco Mode conserves water by drawing water primarily from the cold-water supply. It can be activated via the flow control handle and overridden when a fuller flow is desired.

The shower head features rub-clean nozzles. Gently rub these nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any limescale buildup, ensuring a consistent spray.

The thermostatic control has a pre-set safety stop at 38°C. This can be overridden to a maximum temperature of 46°C by adjusting the temperature control handle.

It is WRAS approved and designed for UK standard 15mm connections. It requires a minimum pressure of 0.2 Bar and a maximum of 5.0 Bar, making it compatible with most domestic systems.

The box typically includes the thermostatic bar shower valve, a 1.5m hose, a multi-function anti-limescale handset, a hose retainer, and a wall mount 12 fixing kit for installation.

The Bristan Artisan Thermostatic Bar Shower Valve comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and that your water system is providing adequate pressure (minimum 0.2 Bar).

Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement. Check the shower head and hose for blockages or limescale buildup. Clean the rub-clean nozzles.

The thermostatic cartridge may be obstructed by debris or have reached the end of its lifespan. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, the cartridge may need replacement. Ensure the temperature override is not set too low.

Check all connections are tightened securely. If leaking persists from the valve body itself, it may indicate a fault with the internal seals or cartridge, requiring professional attention or replacement.
