Product Information

Full details

The Xcel Home Chrome Douche Fixing Bracket Back Plate is designed for homeowners and DIY installers looking to secure their thermostatic douche valves to a bathroom wall with a professional, clean finish. By utilizing high-quality electroplating, it offers significant resistance to corrosion and wear in humid environments; however, it is strictly intended for 15mm pipework systems, meaning it will not fit custom or non-standard plumbing dimensions without additional adapters.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this with non-standard pipe sizes?

No, this bracket is specifically engineered for 15mm pipework and will not guarantee a secure fit for other sizes.

Does it come with instructions?

Yes, complete installation instructions are provided on the product packaging.

Is the finish resistant to hard water?

The electroplated chrome finish is designed to be durable, though wiping it down after use will prevent limescale buildup.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need a drill, wall drill bits, a screwdriver, and adjustable spanners for the plumbing connections.

Can this be installed on a tiled wall?

Yes, but ensure you use the appropriate drill bits for your tile type to prevent cracking during installation.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the connection point

Ensure the olive is seated correctly and that the nut is tightened sufficiently. If it continues, check that the pipe end is cut square and free from burrs.

Bracket feels loose on the wall

Verify that the wall plugs are correctly sized for your wall type (e.g., masonry vs. plasterboard) and that the screws are fully tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable chrome finish resists corrosion
  • Comprehensive kit includes all essential mounting hardware
  • Fits standard 15mm UK plumbing pipes
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic for bathroom installations

Cons

  • Not compatible with pipework sizes other than 15mm
  • Requires drilling into wall surfaces for installation
  • Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your water supply is isolated. The installation requires mounting the back plate to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs. Once the plate is secured, connect your 15mm pipes using the supplied olives and nuts. Tighten the fittings securely but avoid over-torquing, as this can damage the internal components. For maintenance, simply wipe the chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the finish. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh acidic cleaners, as these can damage the protective electroplated layer.
