Can this valve be used with a bath filler?

This valve is designed for a single shower outlet only. It cannot be used to control a bath filler.

How do I clean the brushed gold finish?

What is the warranty period for this product?

Is this valve suitable for low-pressure water systems?

No, this valve requires a minimum pressure of 1.0 Bar. It is not suitable for very low-pressure systems without a booster pump.

How is the temperature controlled?

The valve features a thermostatic control mechanism that allows you to set and maintain your desired shower temperature consistently.

Can I install this myself?

As a concealed valve, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure correct and safe fitting within the wall.

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very low flow

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum 1.0 Bar requirement. Verify that the valve is correctly installed and not obstructed. Consult a plumber if pressure is adequate but flow is still low.

Temperature is not stable or fluctuates significantly

Confirm the water pressure is consistently above 1.0 Bar. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is not blocked or damaged (this may require professional servicing). Check for any simultaneous use of other water outlets in the property that might affect pressure.

Water leaks from the handle or trim plate

The valve may not be seated correctly, or seals may be compromised. This typically requires professional inspection and potential resealing or replacement of parts by a qualified plumber.

Difficulty turning the handle

The handle mechanism might be stiff due to residue or requires lubrication. If the issue persists or the handle is very difficult to turn, contact a professional plumber for assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This is a concealed valve, meaning it is installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting and to maintain the integrity of your wall.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the brushed gold finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks. While the brass construction is durable, regular visual inspection is advised. The manufacturer provides a 15-year guarantee, so refer to their guidelines for any internal maintenance.
