jayc89 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Need 2x concealed valves. 1 for the bath tub and 1 for the shower. Both need to have 2x outlets and ideally be 3/4" connections so I can run 22mm HEP, to the shower at least. Is there any material difference (other than price) in the Grohe/Hansgrohe mixer valves vs a cheaper brand? We both love our showers so it's an area we're willing to pay a little extra for, if there's a long term benefit from doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 If money no object Perrin & Rowe or Swaddling if they still exist. Their thermostatic mixers are serious lumps of finely machined brass. But take a heart pill before you Google the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly don't want to bankrupt myself, but do want the best bang for buck. We bought a cheap bath/overhead shower suite from Victoria Plumb, or similar, when we first moved in, just to give the kids "something" to use and the flow rate is crap compared to the 30 year old Ideal Trevi SWMBO and I currently have in the ensuite.

Onoff Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 A few of us have Hudson Reed. I'm very pleased with mine. I think it's this one: https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/hudson-reed-reign-triple-concealed-thermostatic-shower-valve-with-diverter-rei3417? Or maybe this: https://www.hudsonreed.co.uk/products/showers/triple-valves/REI3411 British made, 20 year guarantee etc. They might do what you want.

They look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
