FAQs
What type of shower valve is this kit designed for?
This kit is specifically designed for surface-mounting bar shower valves.
Can this fixing plate be installed on a newly plastered wall?
This plate is intended for *finished* wall surfaces. A newly plastered wall would need to be fully decorated (painted or wallpapered) and dried before installation.
How many screws are needed to mount the plate?
The kit uses two simple screw fixings for installation.
What is the finish of the fixing plate?
The fixing plate has a brushed brass finish.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Basic tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and possibly a spirit level are typically required for installation.
Is this suitable for outdoor showers?
This product is designed for indoor bathroom use. Outdoor exposure to elements may affect the finish and durability.
What are the dimensions of the fixing plate?
Please refer to the product's technical specifications or packaging for exact dimensions, as these are not provided in the general description.
Troubleshooting
Plate is not level
Ensure the wall surface is flat. Loosen the screws slightly, adjust the plate until level, and then retighten securely.
Screws do not hold firmly
Check if appropriate wall plugs are being used for your wall type. If installing on plasterboard, consider using heavy-duty plasterboard fixings. Ensure the pilot holes are the correct size for the screws and wall plugs.
Shower valve does not align with plate
Verify that the fixing plate is installed in the correct position according to the shower valve's requirements. Some minor adjustments might be possible by slightly repositioning the plate before final tightening, or by adjusting the valve's connections.
Brushed brass finish appears dull
Clean the plate with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can scratch the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the desired location on a finished wall surface where the bar shower valve will be mounted.
- Mark the positions for the two screw fixings using the fixing plate as a template.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations, ensuring they are appropriate for your wall type (e.g., using wall plugs if needed).
- Align the fixing plate with the pilot holes and secure it firmly to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach the bar shower valve to the secured fixing plate according to the valve manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: This fixing plate is designed for surface mounting bar shower valves. Ensure your specific bar shower valve is compatible with this type of mounting system. It is intended for installation on finished wall surfaces, such as tile, plasterboard, or solid walls, provided they can support the weight of the shower valve and withstand water pressure.
Care: To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the plate regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
