METRO Shower Column Set with Bath Function

Product detailed description

This shower column set integrates seamlessly into modern bathrooms and wetrooms, providing a complete solution for both bathtub and shower applications. The system includes a wall-mounted bath mixer with diverter valve, an adjustable overhead rail supporting a rain-shower head, and a three-function handheld unit mounted on a sliding bracket. The modular design allows for customisation based on room layout and user requirements.

The height-adjustable rail accommodates varying ceiling heights and user preferences, making it suitable for multi-generational households or public facilities. The system connects to standard plumbing using half-inch metric threads and eccentric couplings, ensuring compatibility with typical European installation practices. The chrome-plated stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term durability in humid environments.

Installation and connection

The installation requires two wall connections spaced 150 ± 20 mm apart using G 1/2" metric threads. Eccentric couplings are included to adjust alignment during mounting. The overhead rail is mounted higher on the wall, allowing for vertical adjustment between 710 mm and 1140 mm. Before final fixing, verify ceiling clearance to avoid interference with tiles or fixtures. Secure the rail using provided wall brackets and ensure all joints are sealed with appropriate gaskets. Connect the flexible hose to the handheld unit and route it along the wall to prevent sagging or strain on the fittings.

Compatibility and accessories

The set is designed for use with standard domestic water supply pressures and is compatible with typical European plumbing systems. All necessary components are included for a complete installation, including the overhead rain-shower head, three-function handheld unit, and 150 cm flexible hose. Additional mounting hardware and sealing rings are also provided. No further accessories are required unless custom adjustments are needed for non-standard layouts.

Technical background for designers

The system operates via a 35 mm ceramic cartridge inside the bath mixer, offering smooth and leak-free temperature and flow regulation. Stainless steel 304 resists corrosion and maintains surface integrity under prolonged exposure to moisture. The overhead rail supports both fixed and handheld spray functions independently, controlled via the diverter valve. The adjustable mounting system allows for flexibility in positioning while maintaining structural stability. For optimal performance, ensure the inlet water pressure remains within standard household ranges and that all connections are properly sealed against leakage.

Service and operation

Routine checks should focus on the cartridge condition and seal integrity at all threaded connections. Over time, mineral deposits may affect the diverter mechanism; descaling may be required in hard water areas. Verify the flexibility of the hose and secure mounting of the overhead rail during periodic inspections. The two-year warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not include damage caused by improper installation or excessive water pressure.

Frequently asked questions

Can the overhead rain-shower function be used independently of the handheld unit?
Yes, the overhead and handheld outputs operate separately. The bath mixer controls which function is active at any given time.

Is the system suitable for use in a walk-in shower area without a bathtub?
Yes, the set is a universal solution that functions effectively in both shower cubicles and over bathtubs due to the built-in diverter valve.

How is the height of the overhead rail adjusted during installation?
The rail height is adjusted using a sliding bracket at the lower end of the rail. Detailed instructions are available in the installation manual.

Can the system be adapted for left-hand or right-hand installation?
Yes, the system is designed for flexible installation positions. Ensure the diverter lever orientation aligns with user access requirements.
