Specifying Safer Showers with Bristan

Showering – what better way to start the day! Housebuilders and consumers looking for a safe shower option can rest assured our range features the very latest thermostatic technology.

Customer inspired, family safe technology

Water temperatures that exceed 44°C in the shower can significantly increase the risk of scalding – a risk more likely to occur in showers without a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV).

Thermostatic bar showers, such as our easy-to-fit Zing, Quadrato and Prism, mix the hot and cold water supply together, to create a safer, more desirable temperature before it reaches the shower head.

TMV technology also reduces any unexpected spikes in temperature and will cut off the water flow if the cold-water supply runs out to prevent the risk of scalding. This results in a smoother and safer showering experience for the customer.

For added peace of mind, our range include models with intelligent Safe Touch engineering, where the hot feed is encapsulated by the cold to ensure the bar valve is safe to touch.

Easy-to-fit thermostatic showers

With our unique Wallmount 12 technology, it is brilliantly simple to install, maintain and replace thermostatic bar showers.

The clever fixing device, which won a Housebuilder award in 2018, features two front-facing valves for easy installation, allowing plumbers to isolate the water with the turn of two grub screws. It saves having to switch it off at the mains.

The isolation valves also allow for an easy connection to the pipework making them ideal for new build installations, where installers may wish to connect water supply at first fix and install the shower at a second fix.

Available in a selection of our showers such as the Carre, Quadrato and the Artisan, the Wallmount 12 fixing kit makes shower installation smoother, quicker and easier.
