Exposed Valve Shower
Showers
Shower Design
An exposed shower keeps the valve visible and accessible, while a concealed design puts the main valve body behind the wall. Think about whether you need a fixed overhead spray, a handheld outlet or both before you compare the systems available. Explore shower valves for related options.
Water Supply & Fit
Check the spacing of the visible connections and how the fitting will sit against the finished wall. Check the stated pressure and water supply requirements for the exact shower you are considering. Use its drawing to confirm the connection positions and mounting depth. In a refit, take account of the existing supplies and what will be accessible after tiling.
Controls & Outlets
Decide where the controls should sit and which outlet you will reach for most often. Compare the items supplied with the set, including the valve, handset, hose and overhead head. With multiple outlets, check how the control switches between them. Check where a handset can sit when it’s returned to its bracket.
