Black Matt Thermostatic Shower Mixer Sets

A black matt thermostatic shower mixer set from this page comes from one of two makers. Of the 10 sets, Jaquar supplies four built around its Aquamax thermostatic shower mixer, and Britocean supplies six concealed sets.

The Jaquar combos are named after the range they belong to: Opal Prime, Kubix Prime, Alive and Laguna. The Jaquar Black Matt Kubix Aquamax thermostatic shower mixer combo is one of the four. Their titles do not state outlets or parts, so compare those on each listing.

Britocean takes the opposite approach and spells the contents out in each title. Four of its sets have two outlets, feeding a head or overhead shower plus a hand shower; some name a 200mm head, and some add a water outlet with a wall arm or shower arm. The other two are shower and bath sets with a third outlet for a bath spout. These sets come from the Round and Square Collection ranges.

With either brand, start by counting the fittings the valve has to run, then confirm the set covers all of them. Any concealed valve needs enough depth behind the finished surface, so measure before work begins.

The six Britocean sets are also grouped on Britocean Black Matt thermostatic shower mixer sets, and Jaquar valves sold on their own are on Jaquar Black Matt thermostatic shower valves.
