Grove Rapido E

[Northers]

Hi all
I’ve been given a Grohe Rapido E to install in a wet room shower. Apart from the fact that its not thermostatic controlled I can find very little about these valves.
It’s got a single lever and I can see that the hot/cold mix is controlled by rotation - presumably flow (off to full) is controlled by the up/down action?
Sorry for the dumb question but I’ve never seen one of these before - should I give it back to customer and go for a thermostatic version?
All help and advice appreciated - thanks
Andy

If the customer bought it thinking it was thermostatic they're going to be disappointed.
Maybe check they know what they've bought.

Yes that’s the lever...basic question...does the up/down action control flow or switch between the 2 outlets?...I can’t find the answer anywhere.
I’m thinking of knocking up a test ’rig’ but thought I’d ask on here first.
If customer insists on keeping this valve I’ll probably recommend a

Thanks for the reply...Yes that’s the lever...does the up/down action control flow or switch between upper/lower outlets? I was going to set up a test ’rig’’ but thought I would ask on here first.
If they insist on keeping this valve I’ll probably put a mixer in the feed somewhere.

Only does one outlet in that config

there’s a push pull diverter if you have it

According to the Grohe pages there are 3 different valves with levers for each type.

It's Hot / Cold,, left / right
And More or less flow pulling the lever out or in
