Product Information

Full details

This Bristan Renaissance 2 shower pack is ideal for homeowners looking for a modern, space-saving shower solution with independent temperature and flow control. Its key benefit is the recessed valve design, fitting into shallow UK wall cavities (35mm deep), making installation flexible. A potential consideration is that it requires a two-outlet diverter, meaning you'll need to choose which shower component (fixed head or handset) to use at any one time.

FAQs

What is the minimum depth required for the recessed valve?

The valve requires a minimum wall cavity depth of 35mm.

Can I run both the fixed head and the handset at the same time?

No, this shower pack features a two-outlet diverter, meaning you can use either the fixed head or the handset at any one time, but not both simultaneously.

How do I clean the shower components?

Clean all chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a mild vinegar solution and rinse well.

Is this shower suitable for all UK water systems?

Yes, the valve is designed for compatibility with standard UK water systems and requires 15mm inlet connections.

How do I service the shower valve?

The valve is designed for front-facing servicing, meaning most maintenance and replacement of internal parts can be done from the front without needing to access the back of the valve within the wall cavity.

What shower spray patterns are available?

The fixed head provides a main shower experience, while the included handset is a single-function model, typically offering a standard spray pattern.

Troubleshooting

No water flow from shower head or handset.

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the diverter is correctly positioned to select the desired outlet. Inspect the valve and connections for any blockages.

Inconsistent water temperature.

Verify that the temperature control is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no issues with your home's hot water supply. Check for any sediment or limescale build-up in the valve or on the shower head.

Low water pressure.

Check your main water supply pressure. Clean the shower head and handset nozzles for any limescale build-up. Ensure no other taps or showers are running simultaneously, which could affect pressure.

Diverter not switching between outlets.

Ensure the diverter mechanism is fully engaged in the desired position. Check for any obstructions within the diverter system.
