Luxurious Showerheads

Q. "Do you sell any showerheads that completely shut off water flow?"
A.No, and we are not aware of any showerheads that have the ability to completely stop water flow. With your shower valve still open and the showerhead completely closed, it is possible for hot water to force itself into the cold water line. Once the showerhead is opened again, only hot water flows for a moment, creating a risk of scalding. Showerheads are normally manufactured to dribble a small amount and prevent this from occurring.

Q. "What are the advantages of having a slide bar hand shower kit?"
A.Many people find slide bar hand shower kits to be essential elements of their customer shower installations. Some households find slide bar hand showers to be an ideal solution as the slide bar allows for the height of the shower to be adjusted for each member of the family. Naturally, the hand shower may be used separate from the slide bar for those hard-to-rinse places, when washing the family pet, or even to make cleaning the shower easier. Please note, these slide bars are not grab bars and are not designed as safety devices. We offer ADA compliant grab bar/hand shower combinations here.

Q. "What do I need to connect a slide bar hand shower kit to the wall instead of my shower arm?"
A.The slide bar hand shower kits, like most hand shower kits, may be installed on your existing shower arm, basically just removing the existing showerhead and adding the hand shower. It may also be installed using a right angle hose connector, also called a wall supply elbow. This is often accomplished by simply removing the shower arm and replacing it with the wall elbow, though this will depend on your existing plumbing. If you wish to add a slide bar hand shower assembly in addition to existing fixtures, a wall elbow would still be used, often with the addition of a valve or diverter to control the handshower.If you are unsure as to the best way to add a slide bar hand shower to your shower, we recommend contacting a trusted local professional to help you choose the best installation for your needs.
