316L stainless steel thermostatic sliding shower column

A thermostatic valve holds water temperature steady when someone elsewhere in the building flushes a toilet or runs a tap, which is why hotels and shared-bathroom projects specify it ahead of a manual mixer. This sliding shower column carries that thermostatic control on a rail in AISI 316L stainless steel, with a rotary diverter to switch between the handshower and the fixed overhead, and non-return valves built into the G1/2″ connection to stop hot and cold cross-feeding back up the supply.

Key features

• Thermostatic control holds a set temperature despite pressure changes elsewhere in the building
• Sliding rail lets the handshower height adjust for different users
• Rotary diverter switches flow between handshower and overhead
• Non-return valves in the G1/2″ connection prevent backflow between hot and cold
• Anti-limescale nozzles on both handshower and overhead resist hard-water buildup

Specification and installation

The column feeds from a single G1/2″ wall connection and needs no separate thermostatic valve behind the wall, which shortens first-fix on a refit. The overhead shower head is 300 mm across for even coverage, and the handshower's flexible hose runs 1500 mm, long enough to rinse a shower tray or bath from a seated position. Choose brushed, copper, black or gold PVD to match the rest of a Volga bathroom.
