What are the dimensions of the shower valve?

The dimensions are H:20.6 x W:19.5 x D:13.5 cm.

Can this valve be used with a combi boiler system?

Generally, thermostatic shower valves are compatible with combi boilers, provided the system's water pressure meets the valve's minimum requirements. Consult your boiler manufacturer or a plumber for specific compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not stable.

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and that the water pressure meets the minimum requirements. Check for any blockages in the supply pipes or the valve itself. Professional inspection may be needed.

Low water flow.

Verify that the water pressure is adequate. Check for any kinks in the supply hoses or debris in the filters of the valve or showerhead. Clean the showerhead and check valve for limescale.

Valve is difficult to operate.

Ensure the valve is installed correctly and that no external pressure is being applied to the handles. If the issue persists, the cartridge may require inspection or replacement.

Water leaks from the valve.

Check all connections to ensure they are securely tightened. Inspect seals and washers for damage and replace if necessary. Professional assessment is advised if leaks persist.

  • Excellent performance even in areas with low water pressure.
  • The anti-limescale cartridge simplifies maintenance, especially in hard water regions.
  • Reversible cartridge design facilitates easier installation.
  • Robust solid brass construction promises durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct plumbing connections and optimal performance. Ensure hot and cold water supplies are correctly identified. The patented reversible cartridge allows for easy adjustment if initial connections are reversed. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed installation steps.

Compatibility: This shower valve is designed for standard UK plumbing systems. It requires both hot and cold water supplies. It is suitable for systems with low water pressure, but performance is best when minimum pressure requirements, as specified by the manufacturer, are met.

Care: Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check the valve and showerhead for limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas, and clean as necessary according to the manufacturer's instructions.
