Chrome Finish and Brass Material
This thermostatic shower valve features a chrome finish, enabling it to suit any modern bathroom, and the brass material makes it water-resistant, durable, and tolerant to hard water.
Thermostatic Protection
This shower valve has thermostatic protection, which helps the shower to maintain a consistent temperature (preventing hot and cold fluctuations). Built-in thermostatic protection also prevents the water from reaching a scalding temperature — making it safer to use in a house with little ones or those who are more vulnerable.
Rounded Paddle Levers
This AKW shower mixer valve is designed for people of all abilities, thanks to the paddle levers that don't require much force to turn. The paddle levers are also rounded, making them a great safety addition in the shower.
Plus, with two levers, you can independently control the water temperature and flow for your preferences.
Concealed/Exposed Pipework Installation
This valve is suitable to install with either concealed or exposed pipework, and it's also compatible with various shower accessories.
Marked Icons on Valve
To make this valve user-friendly, there are clearly marked icons, indicating the temperature and flow settings.
Max. 38°C Preset Temperature
Built with safety in mind, this valve has a preset maximum temperature of 38°C — helping avoid scalding showers. However, you can manually override this using the button on the valve, and increase it to 41°C.
