Product Information

Full details

This Balterley Connect shower valve is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, stylish, and safe showering experience. Its key benefit is the concealed design, which hides plumbing for a cleaner look, combined with thermostatic temperature control for consistent water temperature. A potential consideration is that it's a single outlet valve, requiring separate components for the shower head or slide rail.

FAQs

What is a concealed shower valve?

A concealed shower valve is a type of shower mixer where the main body of the valve is installed behind the wall, with only the controls and spout or shower head visible. This creates a minimalist and clean look in the bathroom.

Does this valve come with a shower head?

No, this is a single outlet valve and requires a separate shower head or slide rail kit to be purchased. It is designed to connect to one such accessory.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval signifies that the product has been rigorously tested and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and does not waste water.

Can I install this valve horizontally?

Yes, the valve features a fully reversible cartridge and can be fitted either vertically or horizontally, offering flexibility in installation.

What is the benefit of ceramic disc technology?

Ceramic disc technology offers a more durable and smoother operation compared to traditional valves. It is less prone to wear and tear, leading to a longer valve life and reduced risk of leaks.

Is it safe for children?

Yes, the thermostatic temperature control is designed to protect users, including children, from scalding by maintaining a consistent water temperature.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the water inlets or the shower head. Confirm that the hot and cold water supplies are balanced.

Low water flow.

Check the shower head or slide rail kit for any sediment or limescale buildup. Inspect the valve's inlets for debris. If the issue persists, the valve itself might require servicing or replacement of the cartridge.

Valve is leaking.

Inspect the seals and connections. If the leak is from the handle area, the cartridge may need replacement. For leaks from the body, ensure the concealed pipework is properly sealed.

Handles are stiff or difficult to turn.

This may indicate limescale buildup within the ceramic disc mechanism. Try flushing the valve or consider replacing the ceramic disc cartridge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed shower valve, meaning the main body is installed behind the wall. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and integration with your plumbing. The valve requires a connection for a single showering outlet.

Compatibility: The Balterley Connect Twin Concealed Crosshead Thermostatic Shower Valve is designed to be paired with a shower head or a slide rail kit. Matching brassware from the Balterley Connect range is available, allowing for a coordinated bathroom design. Ensure your water system can support the chosen shower accessory and that the valve's flow rate is compatible with your requirements.

Care: To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth. The stain and rust-resistant properties will help preserve its appearance with routine care.
