Square Wall-Mounted Bath Shower Mixer

The body is square and chrome, with a flat spout that projects over the bath. The lever starts at the top and flares into a paddle; in the wall photo, a hand pushes it to open. In front of it, a small pointed pull directs the water to the handset.

In the last photo, the tap is fitted with square rosettes that follow the lines of the body, whereas the first view shows it with round rosettes.

It has no graduated dial: the temperature is set by hand, with the lever, as on any mixer.

You lift the lever to open, turn it left for hotter, right for colder. To switch from bath to shower, you pull the diverter; on most diverters of this type it drops back down by itself when the water is closed.

The outlet under the body takes a hose with a 1/2″ (15x21) nut, seen connected in two photos. The spout carries a grid aerator, removable for descaling.

Polished chrome is cleaned with a wipe of a microfibre cloth; a mix of water and white vinegar dissolves limescale marks without rubbing.

This mixer fits onto two inlets that come out of the wall, with eccentric connectors that you screw in and then adjust before tightening the body nuts. No drilling of the tiles is needed if the outlets exist.

The supplier gives neither the centres nor the contents of the parcel: measure the gap between your inlets and check that you have eccentrics, or write to us before ordering.

If you are starting from a bare wall, have the inlets fitted by a plumber. For a simple replacement, allow for an open-ended spanner, PTFE tape and the mains water shut off during the job.
