Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Ensure water supply is turned off before beginning installation.
1. Rough-in Valve Installation
The solid brass rough-in valve features NPT1/2 inch female threads for easy installation. It includes a Sedal ceramic cartridge for smooth control of water temperature and volume. The valve is designed for wall-mount installation.

Important Note on Valve Depth: When installing the rough-in valve, ensure its depth is precisely set relative to the finished wall surface. Incorrect depth can prevent the diverter knob from engaging properly with the stem. It is often recommended to set the valve slightly proud (1/4" to 1/2") of the finished wall, rather than flush, to allow for proper trim engagement. Consult a professional plumber for precise measurements and installation.
2. Shower Arm and Rain Shower Head Installation
Attach the 14-inch shower arm to the wall connection. The 10-inch rain shower head connects to the end of the shower arm. The shower head features an angle-adjustable design for optimal water coverage.

3. Handheld Shower and Tub Spout Installation
Install the brass shower holder bracket to the wall. Connect the 59-inch stainless steel shower hose to the handheld shower and the wall outlet. The tub spout, made of brass, should be securely installed below the main valve assembly.

Operating Instructions
Your ROVOGO RVG1861 shower system offers versatile water delivery options.
1. Water Flow and Temperature Control
The main handle controls both water flow (ON/OFF) and temperature. Rotate the handle to adjust the temperature from cold to hot. Pull the handle outwards to turn on the water and push it inwards to turn it off.
2. Diverter Function
The diverter knob allows you to switch between the three water outlets: the 10-inch rain shower head, the 5-function handheld shower, and the tub spout. Rotate the diverter knob to select your desired water source.

3. Handheld Shower Functions
The handheld shower features five distinct spray settings. Adjust the spray pattern by rotating the shower head or pressing a button, depending on the specific design of your handheld unit. These settings provide options from a gentle mist to a powerful massage spray.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower system.
1. Cleaning the Chrome Finish
Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
2. Cleaning Shower Head Nozzles
The rain shower head and handheld shower nozzles are designed for easy cleaning. If mineral deposits build up, gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge them. For stubborn deposits, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used, applied with a soft cloth.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles; partially closed shut-off valve; debris in the system. | Clean shower head nozzles. Ensure main water supply valves are fully open. Flush the system if debris is suspected. |
| Leaking from Shower Head/Handheld | Loose connections; worn washers/seals; damaged cartridge. | Check and tighten all connections. Replace worn washers or seals. If the leak persists, the ceramic cartridge may need replacement (contact support). |
| Diverter Not Switching Properly | Improper valve installation depth; debris in diverter mechanism; faulty diverter cartridge. | Verify rough-in valve depth relative to the finished wall. Clean any visible debris. If the issue persists, the diverter cartridge may be faulty (contact support). |
| Water Temperature Fluctuations | Issues with water heater; pressure imbalance; faulty thermostatic cartridge. | Check water heater settings. Ensure consistent water pressure. If problem persists, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a professional. |
