In complete control

Upgrading the bathroom today is more than a case of repainting the walls and replacing the showerhead. Popular choices now include showers featuring multiple components such as second showerheads, hand showers and body sprays.

The ShowHouse brand of luxury faucets and bath accessories has recently added a new valve to its customizable shower options. The ExactTemp® three-quarter inch thermostatic valve can distribute up to 16 gallons a minute to multiple showerheads, body sprays and other customized shower components, more than double the water capacity of standard half-inch valves.

This valve enables multiple shower heads to be controlled through a single valve while delivering maximum flow to all of them. With the valve, bathroom designers can design the exact shower the owners want, and homeowners can use all or some components, as individual levers control water volume to each component.

Another feature of the valve is a dial control embedded into its thermostatic trim handle, and marked with the water temperature in degrees. This allows homeowners to dial their preferred water temperature with pinpoint accuracy and to maintain it within three degrees of the selected temperature.

ShowHouse has specialized over the years in providing coordinating bath fixtures and accessories, so the ExactTemp valve is enhanced by matching handles and trim.

Also available on ShowHouse showerheads is ShowHouse Immersion¢ Rainshower technology. Water is channeled through a spoke design, concentrating and magnifying its natural force.

ShowHouse by Moen is available exclusively through authorized showrooms. To find a showroom near you, visit the website: www.shfaucets.com.
