3. Package Contents
Please check that all components are present and undamaged before beginning installation:
- 1 x Thermostatic Dual Shower Valve
- 1 x Rigid Riser Rail
- 1 x 200mm Rain Shower Head
- Installation hardware (screws, wall plugs, seals)
4. Setup & Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation Requirements
- Water Pressure: Minimum required water pressure is 0.5 bar. For optimal performance, a minimum of 1.0 bar is recommended.
- Plumbing System: Suitable for all plumbing systems. Note: The shower valve will not operate effectively on a gravity-fed tank system unless a booster pump is installed.
- Connections: 1/2 inch hot/cold inlets. The distance between connections should be 147-153 mm.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Area: Ensure the wall surface is clean, flat, and capable of supporting the shower system's weight. Turn off the main water supply.
- Mount the Thermostatic Valve: Position the valve at the desired height. Mark and drill holes for mounting. Secure the valve to the wall, ensuring the hot water supply is connected to the left inlet and cold water to the right inlet (typically marked). The connection distance is 147-153mm.
- Install the Rigid Riser Rail: Assemble the riser rail components. The riser rail can be cut to the desired length to achieve the perfect shower head height. Secure the riser rail to the wall using the provided brackets and hardware.
- Attach the Shower Head: Screw the 200mm rain shower head onto the riser arm. Ensure all connections are tight and sealed with PTFE tape where necessary.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Rectify any leaks before proceeding.

5. Operating Instructions
The ENKI Windsor SH0155 features a dual-control thermostatic valve:
- Temperature Control: One handle controls the water temperature. Rotate it to adjust the temperature to your preference. The thermostatic cartridge maintains a constant temperature, preventing sudden changes.
- Water Flow Control: The other handle controls the water flow. Rotate it to turn the shower on/off and adjust the intensity of the water flow.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To maintain the antique bronze finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical cleaning agents, as these can damage the surface.
- Limescale: In hard water areas, limescale may build up on the shower head nozzles. Gently rub the silicone nozzles to dislodge any deposits. For stubborn build-up, use a mild limescale remover specifically designed for bathroom fixtures, following the manufacturer's instructions, and rinse thoroughly.
- General Care: Periodically check all connections for tightness and signs of wear.
