Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from the Georgian valve?
This is the modern-handle version of the same valve design. It provides the same functionality as the traditional Georgian version, but with contemporary handle styling rather than period detailing.
What does thermostatic control do?
It helps maintain your chosen shower temperature as supply conditions change. A qualified installer should check your system and commission the valve and temperature settings in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I adjust temperature and flow separately?
Yes. The valve provides independent adjustment of water temperature and flow.
Does this include a shower head, hose or riser kit?
No. This listing is for the exposed shower valve only. Select suitable shower accessories separately and have your installer confirm compatibility before fitting.
Will this fit my existing shower installation?
The valve uses ½ inch BSP inlets and a ½ inch BSP bottom outlet. Your installer must also check pipe centres, working pressure, water-system suitability and installation requirements. Thread size alone does not confirm a direct replacement fit. If you need help checking specifications, email customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk or call 01603 381095.
Can the hot and cold connections be reversed?
The valve design is reversible. Ask your installer to check the permitted configuration against the manufacturer's instructions before fitting.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes. Orders can be placed when stock shows as zero. Contact customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk for current availability and an estimated fulfilment time before ordering if you need it urgently.
