Exposed designer bath mixer with diverter in 316L stainless steel

AISI 316L stainless steel, the nickel-and-molybdenum alloy used in marine fittings, is what separates this bath mixer from a standard plated-brass valve, holding its finish through years of hard water and daily use. It surface-mounts above the bath as a single-lever exposed valve, with a pull-out diverter that returns to spout automatically once the shower function is released, so nobody has to remember to switch back. The M18.5x1 aerator on the spout resists limescale build-up.

Key features

• Solid 316L body outlasts chrome-plated brass in hard-water bathrooms
• Pull-out diverter with automatic return switches back to spout without a second action
• M18.5x1 limescale-resistant aerator keeps the spout clear over years of use
• Exposed fitting needs no concealed valve body, simplifying a bathroom refit
• Matches Loira's brushed and PVD-finished shower valves for a coordinated suite

Specification and installation

The mixer mounts externally on the wall above the bath and connects on G1/2” pipework at roughly 150mm centres, adjustable by around 20mm either way, so it tolerates minor variation in existing pipe spacing without repositioning. Specify brushed steel for an understated look, or one of the three PVD finishes to match Loira's exposed shower mixer and other fittings from the same collection.
