Shower and Bath Tap

This mixer does not look like the usual massive bodies: it is made of a horizontal round bar, a vertical cylinder carrying the handle and a curved spout coming out from underneath. The dimensioned diagram gives 150 mm between the inlets, a 190 mm bar, 155 mm total height and a 105 mm spout.

This shape leaves room under the tap to fill a bucket or rinse a child in the bath.

One of the photos shows the spout turned upwards: ask us to confirm if the spout orientation matters for your installation.

A flat handle on top of the cylinder sets the flow by lifting it and the temperature by turning it. Under the bar, a threaded outlet takes the shower hose: the stated connection is 1/2″, the 15x21 of most hoses on sale.

The end of the spout carries a grid aerator, visible in close-up, which makes the jet softer. It unscrews to be rinsed in vinegar when limescale clogs it.

The supplier specifies that the tap is sold without shower head or hose: allow for them separately.

The flat-lay photo shows what comes with the body: two eccentric connectors, two round rosettes and seals. The eccentrics screw into the wall outlets and take up a gap between 130 and 170 mm, according to the supplier.

No drilling is needed if two inlets already exist: screw in the eccentrics with PTFE tape, set their gap, fit the rosettes, then the mixer nuts.
