FAQs
What does 'Doc M' compliance mean?
Doc M refers to Document M of the Building Regulations in the UK, which provides guidance on access to and use of buildings, including accessible toilets and washrooms. Compliance ensures the product meets specific standards for disabled people.
Is this pack suitable for both left and right-handed users?
No, this specific product is the 'Right Hand Rails' version. Armitage Shanks offers a corresponding left-hand version for different bathroom layouts.
How do I maintain the TMV3 approved basin mixer?
The TMV3 mixer requires periodic servicing by a qualified engineer to ensure it continues to function correctly and safely, preventing scalding and reducing Legionella risk.
What is the benefit of an integral thermostat?
The integral thermostat helps to reduce the risk of Legionella bacteria growth by maintaining a safe and consistent water temperature, especially important in commercial or communal settings.
Can I use standard cleaning products on the blue finish?
It is recommended to use only mild, non-abrasive detergents and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive scourers, which can damage the finish.
What is included in the Doc M pack?
This pack typically includes a Doc M compliant basin, basin mixer tap with copper tails, and accessibility rails. Please refer to the specific product listing for exact contents.
Are the rails included with this pack?
Yes, this is a 'Right Hand Rails' pack, meaning the accessibility rails are included as part of the set.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping or leaking
Check that the tap is fully closed. If the issue persists, the internal cartridge may need servicing or replacement by a qualified professional.
Water temperature is too hot or too cold
The TMV3 valve may require adjustment. This should only be performed by a qualified engineer familiar with thermostatic mixing valves.
Basin is not draining properly
Check the waste pipe and trap for any blockages. Ensure the overflow is also clear.
Blue finish appears faded or damaged
Ensure only recommended mild cleaning agents are used. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals. If damage has occurred, consult the manufacturer for repair or replacement options.
