What are the shower racks with a mixer and overhead shower

Currently, shower panels with a mixer and overhead shower can be produced in the form of models installed in a decorative cover that is attached to the wall, or in the form of a steel rack with a watering can embedded in the mixer itself.

In addition, they may differ in functionality, more precisely, in the number of programs. It can only be a shower, but at the same time there are sprayers for hydromassage, which can be directed at different angles.

We will tell you about such modern devices below, and in addition, you can get additional information by watching the video in this article.

Installation nuances

Note. Installation of the panel with the overhead shower is possible not only in the case when at repair of the necessary height the fittings for the mixer were made. The fact is that the mixer with fittings is connected with hoses, the same used for taps on sinks and sinks. Therefore, the panel can be moved up and down.

• If there is a panel for this type of shower system, then of course you will be able to change the installation height relative to the fittings within the limits, but if it has an open type mixer. So, you have to take care of the exact layout of the pipes of hot and cold water. Thus, the height of the mixer should be determined relative to the maximum possible height of the upper shower and the floor of the booth, so that there is enough space for the highest family member. However, if the release of a watering can permits, then a sufficiently comfortable height of the mixer is 90 cm (+ -5 cm) from the pallet.
• In addition, for open mixers it is very important to observe the width of the fittings, so, between their centers there should be 150 mm. For ease of installation in our time produce special strips with fittings mounted there at the right distance - it only remains to be soldered and fixed on the draft wall.

• Massage panels are mounted on hidden brackets (there are at least three of them, but maybe more, depending on the model). These consoles are mounted on plastic dowels with screws, but it is better to use a drill or a perforator for drilling tiles, but in the no-impact mode, so that the tiles do not burst.

Conclusion

Installing a faucet with a high shower or a massage panel with your own hands is possible even for an inexperienced plumber. Here the most important thing is to respect the size when drilling holes and strict compliance with the requirements of the manufacturer.
