Full details

This Nes Home Wall Easy Fixing Plate Kit in Black is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to easily upgrade or install bar shower valves. Its primary benefit is the quick and straightforward surface mounting with just two screw fixings, saving time and effort during installation. A potential caveat is that it's intended for surface mounting, meaning it's not a concealed solution.

FAQs

What type of wall is best for installing this fixing plate?

This plate is designed for surface mounting on any finished wall surface, such as tiles, painted plasterboard, or finished wood panels. The wall must be solid enough to support the plate and the attached shower valve.

Does this kit include screws and wall plugs?

The product information typically focuses on the plate itself. It's recommended to purchase appropriate screws and wall plugs suitable for your specific wall type and the weight of the shower valve.

Can I use this for a concealed shower valve system?

No, this fixing plate is specifically designed for surface-mounted installations and is not suitable for concealed shower valve systems.

How do I clean the black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the main advantage of this fixing plate?

The main advantage is its ease and speed of installation due to the simple two-screw surface-mounting design, making it ideal for quick upgrades or installations.

Is this compatible with all bar shower valves?

It is designed for bar shower valves, but compatibility should be confirmed by checking the specific mounting hole pattern and requirements of your chosen shower valve against the dimensions and fixing points of this plate.

Troubleshooting

Plate feels loose after installation.

Ensure screws are fully tightened into a secure wall fixing. If mounting on plasterboard, ensure appropriate fixings are used for the weight.

Shower valve doesn't align correctly with water inlets.

Double-check the positioning of the fixing plate before securing it. Ensure the plate is level and plumb. Minor adjustments might be possible with some shower valve designs, but repositioning the plate is the most reliable solution.

Black finish appears scratched or damaged.

Inspect the plate before installation. If damage is found, contact the retailer. For minor scratches post-installation, a touch-up pen for black fixtures might be an option, but avoid abrasive cleaning.
