Britocean Black Matt Thermostatic Shower Valves

Messina and Treviso supply all ten Britocean black matt thermostatic shower valves here, five each, and the two ranges line up almost model for model. Every one is a concealed shower mixer, so the valve body is built into the wall.

Both ranges offer a one outlet mixer, a two outlet mixer, a version with three knobs and two outlets, and a two outlet mixer that comes with a kit. The differences are at the edges. Messina adds a three outlet square model, and its two outlet mixer is listed with 2 square knobs. Treviso adds a mixer with three round knobs; its title does not give the outlet count, so check that listing before choosing it.

So the look of the controls helps decide the range. Several Messina titles mention square knobs or a square design, while Treviso has the round-knob version.

Then match the outlets to the shower. With one outlet, the mixer feeds a single shower head. Adding a hand shower calls for two, and a third outlet makes room for one more fitting. The kit versions bring shower parts with the valve, and each listing says which ones. Without a kit, the head and arm are chosen separately.

Because the body is hidden, set out its position and check the wall depth before boarding or tiling. Ready-made sets are on Britocean Black Matt thermostatic shower mixer sets, heads on Britocean Black Matt shower heads, and taps on Britocean Black Matt taps.
