Perrin & Rowe - Classical example shower set 10C

We've taken the guess work out of creating the perfect Perrin & Rowe shower experience. The hardest choice you'll make is the finish.

Exuding classical style and simplicity with exposed pipework, this shower makes a statement.

The overall riser height is 1300mm (1000mm above the handshower diverter, and 200mm below) and it extends 400mm outwards from a 90° bend. It attaches at the base to the wall outlet, and at the top fits any Perrin & Rowe shower rose.

The riser mounted diverter can be inserted into the riser pipe to allow a choice of water flow between an overhead shower rose and a handshower. The handshower sits on a parking bracket which can slide up and down on the riser pipe above the diverter. Handshowers on sliding rails are ideal for a growing family, and excellent for easy cleaning around the shower box.

Shower roses come in three diameters with the 200mm being the most popular. The standard rose has a perforated plate and, when calcification is a problem in hard water areas, specify the Easyclean version with rubber holes.

The pressure balanced shower mixer means a consistent flow even if taps are turned on and off elsewhere in the home. The pressure balance valve fitted into the Perrin & Rowe shower mixer is sensitive to changes in incoming water pressure and thus provides safe showering. The pressure balance valve is a sophisticated plumbing device which ensures that the volume of mixed water which leaves the shower mixer is a constant mix of the hot and cold supplies, even if the delivery pressure of one of them changes. In the event of a drop in the hot or cold water supply, the output of the shower will immediately reduce to the pressure of the lowest supply line.

Pressure balancing shower mixers are suited to most systems. A minimum inlet pressure of 1 bar/80 kPa is required to achieve adequate performance. Accordingly, some gravity fed systems may not be suitable for pressure balanced shower mixers. The maximum inlet pressure is 5 bar/500 kPa.

The faceplate on the mixer includes a discreet red and blue dot to indicate hot or cold as well as the etched Perrin & Rowe insignia.
