The Bristan Sonique2 Recessed Shower Valve with Adjustable Riser Rail Chrome is a sleek, modern shower unit that is sure to enhance your bathroom. It is ideal for retrofitting as the brackets can be adjusted along the riser bar to match up with existing holes, and they can also be positioned either in the middle of the tiles or in the joints. Additionally, the swivelling inlet elbows and the multiple water entry points provide many options for easy fitting.
Thermostatic temperature stop at 42°C
Thermostatic control means that this shower will hold its temperature steady at all times. It dynamically adjusts the mix of hot and cold water offsetting the everyday changes in water pressure experienced in most family homes. However, this shower goes one step further and stops at 42°C to prevent scalding.
15mm inlet connections
For the easiest of installation these showers are fitted with the UK standard 15mm inlet connection. This means no messing around with adaptors or connecting pieces, and no running to the local DIY shop for spares!
Simple single lever control
The single lever control switch is set into the wall on a chrome plate, which makes for easy cleaning and a smart, sleek look. This recessed shower valve can be used with any kind of plumbing system, but ideally a balanced one. It has G ½-inch outlet connections, 1.5-cm compressed inlet connections, and the maximum distance between the inlet centres is 15.2-cm.
The slimline shower head has a rub clean feature, which prevents limescale buildup to extend the working life. The showerhead is attached by a 1.5-metre hose, which has ample length to get water just where you need it. The thermostat is factory set at 43°C, but the limit can be altered by the user if desired. The thermostatic cartridge compensates for any changes in water pressure so that the water temperature remains constant to within 1°C. Also, in the event of a failure in the water supply, the automatic cut-off reduces any risk of injury.
The Bristan shower handset is the ideal addition to your bathroom. It offers fantastic performance, practicality, and great looks thanks to its stylish polished chrome finish. It’s that little bit of extra detailing that your modern bathroom needs!
1.5 meter hose
The shower hose exits from the base of the valve and attaches to an elegant single function handset with a round head. This fits into the adjustable holder which slides effortlessly up and down the riser to give you a variety of showering heights for all members of the family. The handset unclips easily from the holder and the 1.5-metre hose extends to wherever you need water. The incorporated hose retainer keeps the hose in place while showering.
WRAS approved for quality
If you’re buying any sort of water fitting or product then it’s important that it's WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved. It’s the best way to work out if that particular product or part complies with the UK requirements for installation within the UK.
Suitable for all water systems
When it comes to this shower, not only is it stylish, it's practical, too. It doesn’t matter if you have a mains pressure combination boiler, low pressure gravity system, a mains pressure unvented system, or a cold mains supply. This shower is compatible with all water systems, eliminating the worry of whether the shower you want will be suitable for your home.
Bought this to replace a similar Bristan Design I installed 10 years ago.
Works perfectly and lined up with my original pipe work. Lovely smooth progressive valve movement. Chrome plate could be a better fit over the valve - I installed a plastic ring to make it a snug fit and Plumbers mate to stop the plate moving around. If that was sorted would have given it a 5 star review
Can’t understand why anyone would buy anything else
