Black shower column without mixer, built-in diverter

With no taps, this column adds to what you already have. The supplier's visual shows three possible set-ups: under a wall mixer, under a thermostatic bar or on a simple wall outlet, each ticked as compatible.

The upper bracket adjusts in height on the rail: you position it on the holes of the old column, without drilling the tiles again.

It is the model to choose for a rented bathroom or a light renovation. In the photos, it is fitted in showers with wall niches: in chrome on a beige wall, in black on a blue wall.

The integrated diverter is a cylindrical box at the bottom of the rail. You turn it to send the water to the rain shower or to the handset; this is the “Turn” action shown in the photos.

The handset slider, for its part, is adjusted with a press (“Press”) and slides along the rail.

At the top, the round 253 mm rain shower covers the shoulders generously. The round handset offers three sprays, massage, mixed and rain, and its nozzles are made of soft material, to be rubbed with a finger when limescale builds up.

Two finishes are offered: chrome, very present in the photos, and matt black. You choose in the options; the shape stays the same.

The flat-lay photo shows two tubes, the curved arm, the rain shower, the handset, a hose, the diverter, a wall bracket, seals, screws and a hex key.

The inlet connector screws onto the outlet of your taps; check that it is a 1/2″ (15x21) thread, the most common. Matt black is cleaned with soapy water; chrome keeps its shine with a wipe of a dry cloth.
