Aqualisa Pinch Grip sliding handset holder - 25mm - Chrome/Grey

Product Information

Shower control (vertical orientation) On the underside of the control you will see the clip – press in to release the control. Certainly good quality in appearance and extremely easy to fit. Cannot say at present about durability but fingers crossed! Unless like for like, electric showers are not considered direct replacements. Recommendations for an alternative is based on cold water inlet connection type / location, electrical wiring location and current KW rating. Shower footprints differ along with fixing points so new holes will likely be required or may leave old fixing points on visible. The wall will need to be fully tiled beneath the existing shower for the installation to be completed.

Please note: If you are changing from a single adjustable head and wish to now include a fixed head, this will not be compatible with exposed pipework. This is the first time I've had to replace this type of item - and with 2 other Aqualisa showers I'll know exactly where to go if either of the others needs replacing. If the leak is coming from the shower head in the form a constant drip, this is likely due to the hot o'ring being incorrectly positioned, damaged or not renewed. These models have had 2 different designs of valve body during their production as well as solid brass bodies. The hot o'ring is installed differently with each design... The majority of Aqualisa showers do not have a name or model on them but understanding the type of shower will help narrow the search. Please search for your shower from the list below; Even during the Global Pandemic of 2000/2021 and the added difficulty to get items when the industry seemed to stand still due to Brexit, this company had no problems soaring above it all with genuine parts, at competitive prices and superb delivery to Northern Ireland. Highly recommend them..

General Installation/Maintenance (all products)

The appropriate hot water flow regulator will need to be fitted in the hot inlet of the valve. 3 regulators are available dependent on the KW rating of the boiler. Our original Aqualisa pinch grip had worn out after many years & shower head was slanting downwards Can the pinch grip shower head holder be fitted without dismantling the riser rail and shower control unit Carefully remove the wall plate which will be secured using silicone sealant. This will expose the PCB which connect to the control knobs.

All bar valves have 150mm pipe centres and can be fitted on the existing male threads coming from the wall.A2 and A1 Smart Valves share the same hot and cold inlet centres however, the location of the mixed supply pipe differs and would need altering if changing from gravity to high pressure. In many cases, this will be an extra elbow connection - below are images both Smart Valves and the location of the mixed supply pipe. If the Smart Valve currently fitted is standard HP (A1), this would suggest that the gravity water system has a separate booster pump to pressurise the water. In this case, the Smart Valve is already compatible for the change to high pressure, however the settings on the logic will need to be switched "HP Combi" if intended to be fitted on a combi boiler water system. PRVs should feature as part of the installation and generally operate at 2-3 Bar of pressure. If you are experiencing an increase of pressure on an unvented installation, this could indicate that the air gap inside the tank needs servicing. This would need to be assessed by a plumber qualified to work on unvented tanks. If you start water flow by pushing a button and the shower has flashing lights, this will be one of our Digital / Smart range.
