FAQs

What type of shower valve do I need for this kit?

This rigid riser kit is designed specifically for use with exposed shower valves. It will not be compatible with concealed valve systems.

Can I adjust the height of the shower head?

No, this is a rigid riser kit, meaning the height of the shower head is fixed and cannot be adjusted. It is designed for a consistent, traditional shower experience.

Is the swivel spout functional?

Yes, the swivel spout is functional and can be moved to direct the water flow, adding convenience to your showering routine.

What material is the shower kit made from?

The shower kit is manufactured from high-quality brass, ensuring durability and longevity.

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads to prevent scratching.

Does this kit come with the shower valve?

No, this is a rigid riser kit and does not include the shower valve. You will need to have compatible exposed shower valves installed separately.

What is the benefit of a rigid riser system?

A rigid riser provides a stable, fixed shower head position that contributes to a classic and elegant bathroom design, often found in traditional styles.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow

Check that the exposed valves are fully open. Inspect the riser and shower head for any blockages or scale buildup. Ensure the home's water pressure is adequate.

Leaking from connections

Verify that all connections are securely tightened according to the installation manual. Check that rubber washers or seals are correctly seated and not damaged.

Swivel spout is stiff

Gently try to move the spout back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be applied to the swivel joint, following product guidelines.

Chrome finish discolored

Ensure only non-abrasive cleaning products are used. Stubborn discoloration might indicate mineral deposits that can be treated with a mild vinegar solution, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
