An exposed thermostatic mixer keeps the control body visible and serviceable. This brass-casting style can be specified for hotel refurbishments, residential bathrooms and replacement programmes where a concealed valve is impractical.
Buyer specification
- Confirm inlet centres and thread format against site plumbing.
- Test the thermostatic cartridge and temperature response under expected pressure variation.
- Check outlet layout for the selected hand shower or overhead shower.
- Approve finish, handle grip and service-part availability.
Pair with a three-function hand shower and compare our concealed thermostatic system for new-build layouts. Read the thermostatic versus manual guide.
FAQ
Does thermostatic control eliminate all scald risk?
No. Correct installation, supply conditions, commissioning and maintenance remain essential.
Is it easier to retrofit than concealed control?
Often, but confirm existing inlet spacing and wall condition before specification.
