Frequently Asked Questions
What is a concealed thermostatic shower valve?
A concealed thermostatic shower valve has two components: a valve body installed within the wall during first fix (before tiling), and a decorative control plate fitted after tiling. Only the control plate is visible once installed, giving a clean, minimalist look with no exposed pipework. The thermostatic element automatically maintains your selected water temperature, compensating for pressure fluctuations and providing anti-scald protection.
What does 2 exit mean?
A 2-exit valve has two separate outlet ports, each with its own on/off control. This allows you to connect two different shower outlets — for example, a fixed overhead shower head and a handheld shower, or an overhead head and body jets — and switch between them or run them simultaneously.
Are shower heads and accessories included?
No — the valve and control plate are included, but shower heads, handsets, rails, arms, and body jets are sold separately.
When does the valve body need to be installed?
The valve body must be installed during first fix — before plastering and tiling. The control plate is fitted after tiling is complete. Professional installation is essential.
Where is this valve designed and made?
The Kite collection is designed in Britain and manufactured in Italy, combining British design heritage with Italian manufacturing precision.
How do I extend the guarantee to 15 years?
Register your product with Abode after purchase. Details are included in the guarantee documentation supplied with the valve.
