Water Saving Shower Heads
Solutions
Handset, Hose and Mount as One Order
Three parts, one finish, one shipment — instead of three suppliers and a wall that does not match.
The problem
Handsets, hoses and brackets are usually bought separately, which is how a refurbishment ends up with three shades of chrome in the same bathroom and a hose that does not seat properly in the bracket.
How it is done
1
Choose the handset first, because it sets the flow. The 9-jet turbo massage handhelds cover the volume band; the stainless-plate handheld runs to a 7.5 LPM maximum; the three-function head covers 0.5 to 2.5 gpm.
2
Match the hose to the installation, not the price. PVC at 13.5mm for volume work, stainless single- or double-buckle for visible chrome, copper at 14 or 15mm where the section has to be heavier, and extensible builds for small enclosures.
3
Pick the bracket to suit the wall. Wide back plates for plasterboard and panel, small round bases for tile, pivoting joints where the angle has to be set after tiling, and the valve-body mount where the supply connection is made at the bracket.
4
Everything in the mount range is chrome-plated ABS, so parts ordered together arrive in one finish.
Send the wall construction and the enclosure size with your enquiry. Those two facts decide the bracket and the hose length more than any preference does.
