Product Information

Full details

The RAK Ceramics Petit Square Shower System in Brushed Nickel is designed for homeowners seeking a contemporary, fully integrated shower solution. Its key benefit is a consistent and safe showering experience thanks to thermostatic temperature control, coupled with a striking geometric aesthetic. A potential caveat is that its surface-mounted rigid riser design, while simplifying installation, makes the pipework a visible design element. This complete system includes a thermostatic valve, rigid riser, overhead shower head, and handset, all featuring a sleek, square profile and durable brushed nickel finish.

FAQs

What is a rigid riser shower system?

A rigid riser shower system features visible pipework that connects the main valve to the shower head and handset. Unlike concealed systems, the pipework is a deliberate design element, offering a clean, vertical aesthetic.

Is professional installation necessary?

Professional installation is strongly recommended for this system to ensure correct functioning, safety, and to maintain the warranty. It involves connecting to water supplies and ensuring secure mounting.

How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution or a cleaner specifically designed for brushed nickel.

What is the guarantee period for the valve?

The thermostatic valve comes with a 15-year guarantee, providing assurance of its quality and durability.

Can I use this system with a combi boiler?

Yes, this system is designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems, including combination boilers, provided the water pressure meets the system's requirements. Always check the specific pressure requirements in the technical data.

What are the main dimensions of the system?

The system measures 272mm wide, 1242mm tall, and 534mm deep.

Does it include the shower head and handset?

Yes, this is a complete system that includes the thermostatic valve, rigid riser, overhead shower head, and shower handset.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or fluctuating temperature

Check that the hot water supply is functioning correctly and at adequate pressure. Ensure the thermostatic valve is correctly installed and has not been accidentally set to a maximum temperature limit. If the issue persists, consult a professional plumber.

Low water flow from shower head or handset

Inspect the shower head and handset for blockages caused by limescale or debris. Clean the nozzles as per the care instructions. Check the main water supply valves to ensure they are fully open. Ensure the system is receiving adequate water pressure.

Leaking from valve or connections

Immediately turn off the water supply to the shower. Check that all connections are tight and that any seals or washers are correctly in place and undamaged. If the leak persists, professional servicing of the valve or seals may be required.

Brushed nickel finish appears dull or discolored

Ensure you are using only soft cloths and non-abrasive cleaners. Stubborn marks may require a specific cleaner designed for brushed nickel finishes, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

  • Thermostatic control offers safety and consistent water temperature.
  • Modern square design fits well with contemporary bathroom styles.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This system is designed for surface mounting, meaning the rigid riser and valve are installed onto the wall surface rather than being recessed into it. This method generally requires fewer modifications to existing wall structures. Professional installation is strongly recommended due to the plumbing connections involved and to ensure correct operation and longevity. Ensure you have adequate hot and cold water supply lines accessible at the installation point.

Compatibility:

The system is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires minimum and maximum water pressures as specified by plumbing regulations for shower systems to function correctly. Please consult the technical specifications for precise pressure requirements. The brushed nickel finish is designed to coordinate with the RAK Ceramics Petit Square accessory range, but will also complement other brushed nickel or contemporary fixtures.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and function of your shower system:

  1. Regularly wipe down all surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and soap residue.
  2. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
  3. Periodically check the shower head and handset nozzles for limescale buildup. Use a mild descaler or a vinegar solution if necessary, following product instructions.
  4. Ensure any visible connections are secure, but do not overtighten.
