FAQs
Can this shower valve be used with a shower pump?
Yes, this manual shower valve is compatible with standard shower pump systems, provided the system is correctly installed and supplies adequate pressure.
What is the difference between concealed and exposed installation?
Concealed installation means the main body of the valve is hidden within the wall, with only the controls visible, offering a cleaner look. Exposed installation means the valve body is visible on the wall surface, which can simplify installation and maintenance.
Does this valve have a thermostatic temperature control?
No, this is a manual shower valve. It does not feature thermostatic control, meaning the water temperature must be adjusted manually each time you use the shower.
What is the valve made of?
The valve is manufactured from high-quality brass with a chrome finish.
How should I clean the chrome finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent damage to the chrome surface.
What is the warranty period for this shower valve?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Is it difficult to install the lever handle?
The lever handle is designed for easy attachment. Installation instructions provided with the product will detail the specific steps.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure
Check that the water supply is fully open. Ensure there are no blockages in the showerhead or pipes connected to the valve. Verify that the valve itself is not partially closed.
Difficulty adjusting temperature
Ensure hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve. Check for any debris obstructing the valve mechanism.
Valve leaking
Turn off the water supply immediately. Check all connections for tightness and ensure all seals and O-rings are correctly seated and undamaged. If the leak persists, the valve may require professional servicing or replacement.
Water flow inconsistent
Confirm that both hot and cold water supplies are consistent. Check for any air in the system or partial blockages within the valve or connected pipework.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shower valve is designed for installation by a qualified plumber. The choice between concealed and exposed fitting depends on your bathroom's plumbing configuration and aesthetic preferences. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: The valve is manufactured from brass with a chrome finish and is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires hot and cold water supplies.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn water spots, a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water and a buff dry.
