The Architeckt Round valve is installed with its working components concealed behind the wall, leaving the controls visible. It’s a good choice if you want a simpler-looking shower area or would rather avoid a bulky exposed valve. The round design and slim stick handles give it a modern finish without taking attention away from your tiles or other fittings.
Please note: This listing is for the shower valve. Check which shower head, hose, and other outlet components your installation requires.
Thermostatic Temperature Control
A change in water pressure elsewhere in the home can affect the temperature of an ordinary shower. This valve’s thermostatic mechanism responds by adjusting the mix of hot and cold water to help keep the shower close to your selected temperature. It’s particularly useful in a busy household where taps and toilets may be used while someone is showering.
Brass Construction and Chrome Finish
The valve has a solid brass body designed for regular use. Its polished chrome finish is straightforward to wipe clean and works well alongside chrome taps, shower heads, and bathroom accessories.
Technical Information
The valve is designed for a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar and a maximum of 5.0 bar. Its pipe centres are 150mm, with an adjustment of ±18mm.
The supplied bottom-outlet flow figures are:
0.5 bar: 12.4 litres
1.0 bar: 18.3 litres
3.0 bar: 32.8 litres
5.0 bar: 42.7 litres
Installation note: The supplied inlet connection measurement appears to be incorrectly formatted, so it should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s technical drawing before fitting. The flow figures are listed as “litres” in the supplied specifications without a time unit; confirm the measurement basis if flow rate is important to your shower setup.

1 Product Question
Mark.E asked
This is identical to the valve i want to replace. can I switch the outlet round or use upside down as my outlets at the top??
The valve has to be installed with the hot feed on the left, the cold feed on the right. However you can remove the top blanking plug and the bottom thread connector and switch them around to reverse the outlet
I was unsure if the mixer valve would fit in place of a Roman valve which had failed dramatically resulting in me having to get a replacement urgently. Plumbworld gave excellent information that gave me confidence to order the valve.
The valve was delivered very quickly and I was very pleased with the quality of the valve, it was fitted very easily and works well.note the facia plate is plastic but has a very good chome finish so I only put on a thin film of silicon to secure it to the tiles to allow for easy removal for maintenance

So far really impressed, the stated 2/3 day delivery was next day, but the fact that the valve was excellent quality and a fraction of the cost of similar items by other suppliers with free delivery, exceeded my expectations.
The valve was standard dimensions so fitted easily and quickly. It was a smart minimalist design, good quality chrome and simple smooth operation. It also came with a ten year warranty, twice that of other suppliers.
All pros, not one con, 100% satisfied.

Had a problem when my Bristan wireless shower failed. Can't get any replacement parts and was left with the prospect of having to spend a lot of time and money to rectify this. This product came to the rescue as it was shallow enough to be fitted in the void that I had behind the tiles and plasterboard. A simple job to cut a hole big enough for the valve to get through, drop some 1.5m flexible pipes down the void and attach to the existing shower pipes and the water supplies. Works a treat and the price was very good. Would recommend this product and the service I received when it was ordered.

I am happy to give this product a 5 star rating.
However, the supplied booklet talks about filters but doesn't explain in the diagram where these are. It could be that to a plumber it is obvious. But to a DIY home owner who gets to install this type of product rarely in their lives it is not.
After re plumbing my cold water supply from the loft and getting nowhere in terms of the cold water pressure, I stripped the new valve down and found nothing apparently wrong.
I eventually found that the mentioned filters where behind the 90 deg elbows for the hot and cold feed. The cold was blocked with loft insulation!
Plumbworld please add this information to your installation instructions.

This valve is stunning to look at and feel very well made , the hot and cold feed are adjust to suit pipework and tv he shower head outlet is reversible so can be connected top or bottom of the valve . For the price I’m very happy with the purchase and the after sales service from Plumbworld many thanks Guys

Bought this to replace an existing concealed shower. The existing unit didn't have the normal 150mm pipe centres and moving the pipes would have required significant disruption to the wall and existing finish. With the adjustable pipe centres on this unit this problem was easily overcome.
It's also a nice looking unit and seems to work well.
