The 1901 Traditional Valve merges the classic forms of the early twentieth-century interior fittings with the latest in thermostatic shower technology to create a highly desirable piece. A recessed valve with wall mounted control unit comes complete with vintage-style cross head handles to give the user full control of the water rate and temperature. It is fitted with a thermostatic cartridge to shut-off should the hot or cold supplies fail, preventing scalding and ensuring a safe, comfortable shower. An adjustable riser kit allows for a thorough and invigorating soak, and the placement of the handset can be adjusted to the height of the user. It is suitable for all plumbing systems, preferably balanced and works well with low or high water pressure systems.
