Black thermostatic shower system with round rain shower head and handset

It is rare for a supplier to give so many dimensions. The diagram shows a 150 mm centre distance between the water supplies, a 275 mm thermostatic bar and water outlets to be placed between 900 and 1,200 mm from the floor.

The column itself adjusts from 829 to 1,221 mm above the bar, and the arm brings the rain shower head 350 mm out from the tube. The hose is 1,500 mm long.

With these figures, you know before buying whether the shower system will fit under your ceiling and whether your existing outlets are suitable.

At the top, the round black rain shower head has nozzles arranged in rings around a centre. Its ball joint lets it tilt forwards or backwards.

The round handset, about 12 cm in diameter, offers three sprays: shower, massage, and shower plus massage. Its angle can also be adjusted in its slider.

The round intermediate wall bracket holds the bar at mid-height. The body is stated to be brass. The curved arm, in 22 mm tube, joins a 25 mm bar. The lifestyle shots show it in front of large picture windows, next to freestanding baths.

The lower bar is thermostatic: you set the temperature and it holds it when the pressure changes elsewhere in the home. The package photos show it with its two handles and brass connectors.

Installation is on the two wall outlets, 150 mm apart. If yours are different or badly placed, a plumber can adapt them before fitting.

Care: a soft cloth on the black, and regular rinsing of the rain shower head nozzles. Connectors and seals are shown in the package photo.
