The main advantage is its ability to maintain a pre-set water temperature, preventing sudden changes in heat for a safer and more comfortable shower experience.
While it works best with adequate water pressure, its design aims for consistent performance. However, extremely low pressure may affect flow rate. It is WRAS approved, indicating it meets standards for various water conditions.
The kit includes the shower handset, a height-adjustable slide rail, and the necessary hose and fittings to connect the handset to the shower valve.
Wipe the chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and rinse thoroughly with water, then dry with a soft cloth.
WRAS approval signifies that the product meets the high standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme in the UK, ensuring it is safe and suitable for use with drinking water supplies.
Yes, as long as you use a compatible shower hose and handset. Standard 1/2 BSP connections are typically used, but it's always best to confirm compatibility.
The RAK Ceramics Exposed Thermostatic Shower Valve comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Ensure the handset and hose are not kinked or blocked. Clean the showerhead and check for any debris in the filters or inlet connections.
Verify that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no other water-using appliances running simultaneously that might affect pressure. If the issue persists, the internal thermostat may need servicing or replacement.
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that appropriate sealing tape (e.g., PTFE tape) was used on threaded connections. If leaks persist, inspect seals and washers for damage.
Gently try to move the handset holder up and down. Clean the slide rail with a damp cloth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant might help, but avoid petroleum-based products.
