Full details

Its primary benefit is the heavy-duty construction and versatile spray patterns, ensuring longevity and user satisfaction. A potential consideration is the need for a separate RAC accessory for integrated controls.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 'heavy duty' design?

The 'heavy duty' design means the brass slide bar and components are built to withstand significantly more daily use and stress than standard shower fittings, making it ideal for high-traffic or commercial environments.

Can I adjust the height of the shower head?

Yes, the clamp bracket assembly allows you to slide the handset up or down the bar to your preferred height.

Does this kit include the shower controls?

No, this is a shower fitting kit. For built-in shower controls, you will need to purchase a separate Rada RAC accessory.

What types of water pressure systems is this kit compatible with?

The kit is designed to work effectively with both high and low water pressure plumbing systems.

How long is the flexible hose?

The included flexible hose is 1.25 meters (approximately 4.1 feet) in length.

What are the five spray patterns on the handset?

The specific names of the five spray patterns are not detailed, but they typically offer a range of experiences such as a drenching rain, a targeted massage, and softer mist options.

Is this kit suitable for a home bathroom?

While designed for heavy use, it can certainly be used in a home bathroom, especially if you prioritize durability and a robust feel. For standard domestic use, its heavy-duty features offer enhanced longevity.

Troubleshooting

Handset spray pattern is weak or inconsistent

Check for blockages in the handset nozzles. Ensure the flexible hose is not kinked. Verify water pressure compatibility with the system.

Slide bar feels loose or unstable

Ensure all mounting screws for the bracket assembly are tightened securely. Check if the wall anchors are properly seated and suitable for the wall type.

Hose is leaking at the connection points

Check that the hose retaining ring is correctly fitted and tightened. Ensure rubber washers are present and in good condition at both connection points.

Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Built for heavy-duty use, ensuring long-term reliability.
  • Versatile 5-function handset caters to different user preferences.
  • Works effectively with both high and low water pressure systems.
  • Easy to clean chrome finish simplifies maintenance.
  • Complete kit provides all essential components for installation.

Cons

  • Requires a separate RAC accessory for built-in shower controls.
  • May be over-engineered for standard domestic use.
  • Brass construction, while durable, adds weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The kit is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the wall surface is suitable for mounting the slide bar. Follow the included instructions to attach the bracket assembly and connect the flexible hose to the water supply and handset. The clamp bracket allows for adjustable height positioning of the handset.

Compatibility: This shower fitting kit is designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems. It is explicitly stated to be suitable for both high and low-pressure plumbing systems. For integrated control functionality, a separate Rada RAC accessory is available and must be purchased independently.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish and ensure longevity, clean the shower kit regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
