FAQs

What does 'concealed' mean in this context?

Concealed means the main body of the valve is installed within the wall cavity, leaving only the handle and trim visible on the outside for a clean, minimalist look.

Do I need a plumber to install this?

Yes, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended due to the concealed nature of the valve and the need for secure, leak-free connections within the wall.

Can I use this with a combi boiler?

This valve is generally compatible with most domestic water systems, including those supplied by combi boilers, provided the system water pressure is within the recommended range for thermostatic valves.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but always rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of thermostatic control?

Thermostatic control ensures a constant, safe water temperature by automatically adjusting for changes in pressure or temperature from the hot and cold water supplies. This prevents sudden scalding or cold shocks.

Does this valve include the stop tap?

No, this is a concealed thermostatic temperature control valve and is designed to be used with a separate concealed stop tap. The stop tap is not included with this product.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official documentation for specific warranty details, as these can vary.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not stable.

Check that the system water pressure is adequate and balanced for both hot and cold supplies. Ensure the valve is correctly installed and that there are no blockages in the system. Verify that a concealed stop tap is fitted and functioning correctly.

Valve is difficult to operate.

Ensure there are no obstructions around the handle. If stiff, it may require professional inspection for internal issues or limescale buildup.

No water flow or very low flow.

Verify that the concealed stop tap is fully open. Check for any kinks in the pipework or blockages within the valve itself. Ensure adequate water pressure from your mains supply.

Leaking from the fitting.

Ensure all connections are tight and properly sealed. If the leak persists, professional inspection and potentially replacement of seals or the unit may be necessary.

Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting and to prevent leaks. Ensure the water supply lines are flushed before connecting the valve to remove any debris.

Compatibility: The valve is suitable for use with a concealed stop tap. It is designed for standard domestic water pressure systems. Ensure your existing plumbing system can support a thermostatic mixing valve.
