Wide 500 x 500 mm Ceiling Rainfall and Waterfall Head

Same 500 x 500 mm footprint as the plain rain head, but this one does two things with it. Overhead, the rain pattern lays a broad soft fall across the whole plate; switched to the waterfall function, the water is concentrated into a heavier curtain at one end. That combination is what a large shower needs, because a wide head on one pattern can feel flat and a narrow head on a heavy pattern feels harsh. The body is AISI 316L, the molybdenum-bearing grade, chosen for treated water and heavy commercial use.

Key features

• Rain and waterfall functions on a wide 500 x 500 mm plate
• Soft nipples shape both sprays and cushion the fall
• Wide coverage for a shower room rather than a tray
• AISI 316L, the grade for chlorinated and commercial installations
• Ceiling mounted and fed from the void above at half inch

Specification and installation

The head is fixed to the ceiling and connected from above at half inch, so plan the ceiling void before the plasterboard is closed. At 500 mm square it needs clearance on all four sides, which usually means a shower room with a freestanding column or a wet floor beneath it. Brushed or polished stainless steel.
