Concealed self-closing mixer valve in 304L stainless steel

Behind the tiles is where this valve lives: a concealed self-closing mixer that blends hot and cold before the water reaches the push button, so only a slim cover plate and control show once the wall finish is complete. AISI 304L stainless steel gives it the standard corrosion resistance a shower environment calls for, without the extra molybdenum a coastal or pool installation would need. One push starts the flow and it shuts itself off after a set time, cutting water waste in a shared bathroom.

Key features

• A hot/cold regulation lever sets the temperature once; the push button then controls every use.
• The self-closing timer removes the risk of a shower left running in an unattended washroom.
• Concealed installation keeps the shower wall free of visible pipework and exposed valve bodies.
• Four finishes — Copper PVD, Black PVD, Gold PVD, Brushed — match the plate to Loira-collection accessories.

Specification and installation

Like the rest of the concealed range it installs behind the wall before tiling, so first-fix plumbing and chase depth need confirming at design stage rather than on site. Because it mixes hot and cold itself, it needs no separate blending valve upstream — specify the single-function version in the same range instead where that mixing already happens elsewhere. Tubico backs the valve with a two-year warranty.
