Explore thermostatic, digital, concealed, exposed and
multi-function shower mixers designed to coordinate water
temperature, flow and outlet selection within contemporary
bathroom and shower installations.
BathSelect offers shower mixer valves for new bathrooms,
remodeling projects and upgraded shower installations.
These controls combine hot and cold water while supporting
configurations ranging from a simple overhead shower to
coordinated rainfall, handheld, waterfall and body-jet
systems.
The collection includes manual controls,
thermostatic shower valves
,
pressure-balancing options, digital thermostatic
controllers, exposed valves, recessed mixers and selected
four-hole or five-hole bath mixer arrangements.
Different layouts, control technologies and finish options
allow the mixer to coordinate with the design and operating
requirements of the complete bathroom. Product-specific
dimensions, functions and technical requirements should
always be reviewed before purchase or installation.
Coordinate several outlets through one organized
mixer and diverter arrangement. The number of
controls should match the intended combination of
rainfall, handheld, waterfall and body-spray
functions.
Digital Systems
Selected digital mixers display temperature and
provide electronic outlet control. Available
features vary by model and may include presets,
timers, memory settings or touchscreen operation.
Exposed Systems
Exposed controls keep the principal valve assembly
visible. This format can simplify access for
inspection, repair and selected renovation
applications.
Control Technologies
Shower Mixer Types
Mixer technologies respond differently to temperature,
pressure and user input. Selection should be based on the
complete shower configuration rather than appearance alone.
Manual and Pressure Control
Manual and Pressure-Balancing Mixers
A manual mixer allows the user to blend hot and cold
water through a lever or separate handles.
Pressure-balancing valves are designed to respond when
the pressure of one incoming supply changes.
Familiar mechanical operation
Suitable for straightforward shower arrangements
Available with integrated or separate diverters
Pressure-balancing models react primarily to
pressure variation
Temperature Regulation
Thermostatic Shower Mixers
Thermostatic mixers regulate mixed-water temperature and
are commonly selected for shower systems that benefit
from a consistent setting. Many configurations separate
the temperature control from the flow or diverter
control.
Independent temperature selection
More consistent mixed-water temperature
Temperature-stop features on selected products
Suitable for rainfall, handheld and body-jet systems
Electronic Controls
Digital Shower Mixers
Digital shower controls provide an electronic interface
for temperature and outlet management. Depending on the
model, the interface may be installed inside the shower
or placed at a convenient entry location.
Temperature handle with integrated pressure response
Showers where supply-pressure fluctuation is a
design consideration
Thermostatic Mixer
Senses and regulates the mixed-water temperature.
Separate temperature and flow or diverter controls
Multi-outlet, comfort-focused and spa-style showers
Digital Mixer
Uses an electronic interface to manage system
operation.
Screen, touchscreen, buttons or remote controller
Smart bathrooms and digitally controlled shower
systems

outlet operation and applicable certifications differ by model.
Confirm these details from the individual BathSelect specification
and installation documentation.
Installation Format
Concealed & Exposed Mixers
Concealed Mixers
The valve body and plumbing connections are installed
behind the finished wall. Only the trim plate, handles and
user controls remain visible.
Clean architectural appearance
Reduced visual clutter
Flexible outlet placement
Requires rough-in coordination
Service access should be planned
Exposed Mixers
The mixer body, riser and selected plumbing components
remain visible and become part of the shower composition.
Accessible for inspection and maintenance
Useful for selected remodeling applications
Less wall opening may be required

Rough-In Considerations
Before closing the wall, confirm the valve depth, connection
orientation, finished-wall thickness, service access and
alignment of every shower outlet.
A shower function generally refers to one independently
controlled water outlet or shower experience.
One Function
Controls one primary outlet, such as an overhead rainfall
shower.
Two Functions
Commonly coordinates a rainfall shower and a hand shower or
tub spout.
Three Functions
May coordinate an overhead shower, hand shower and body-jet
system.
Four or More

mist, handheld and body-spray functions.
Term
Meaning
Selection Note
Diverter
Directs water from one shower outlet to another.
Confirm the number of available positions and
compatible outlets.
Volume Control
Regulates the intensity of water flow.
A diverter does not always provide independent
volume control.
On/Off Control
Starts or stops water to an individual outlet.
Useful for systems with independently operated
functions.
Shared Operation
A compatible valve may allow selected outlets to
operate together.
Never assume simultaneous use unless it is stated in
the product documentation.
Horizontal and Vertical Mixer Layouts
Horizontal controllers create a wider control arrangement
that can align visually with linear shower heads, benches
or recessed wall niches. They require sufficient clear wall
width and careful coordination with internal piping.
Vertical controllers occupy less horizontal wall space and
can be effective in narrower shower enclosures. Their
controls may be organized from top to bottom according to
temperature, flow and outlet function.
The choice between horizontal and vertical layouts should
consider user reach, wall framing, piping direction,
waterproofing, tile joints and the positions of the hand
shower and body sprays.
Finish Coordination
Shower System Finishes
Coordinate the shower mixer with the shower head, hand shower,
body sprays, tub filler, drain and surrounding bathroom
hardware.
Finish note:
Screens, buttons, hoses, trim plates and internal components may
display slight material or finish differences. Review the
individual product images and finish description before ordering.

System Performance
Pressure, Flow & Heating
The mixer can regulate and direct the available water, but it
cannot create additional pressure or hot-water capacity.
Available Pressure
Confirm static and dynamic pressure, hot and cold supply
balance, pressure loss through the piping and the operating
requirements of the selected valve.
Combined Flow Demand
Calculate the combined flow of every outlet intended to
operate at the same time, including body jets, hand showers,
rainfall heads and waterfall outlets.
Hot-Water Supply
Verify heater capacity, recovery rate, pipe distance,
recirculation design and the minimum activation flow of
tankless water heaters.
Water-Heater Compatibility
Shower mixers may be incorporated into systems supplied by
storage-tank heaters, tankless heaters, central domestic
hot-water systems, recirculation loops or heat-pump water
heaters. Compatibility depends on the requirements of both
the shower valve and the water-heating equipment.
A multi-function shower can demand substantially more water
than a single shower head. The project team should verify
the available hot-water volume, heater recovery, pipe size,
incoming temperature and anticipated duration of use.
Tankless heaters may require a minimum flow before heating
begins. Very low mixer flow or rapidly changing outlet
combinations can affect heater operation, making system-wide
coordination important.

Installation Planning
Thermostatic Valve Installation
Whether the project involves a new bathroom or an existing
shower remodel, the supply piping and rough-in valve must be
coordinated before the finished wall is completed. The hot
and cold supplies enter the concealed valve, where they are
blended to produce the selected mixed-water temperature.
Installation should be completed by a qualified plumbing
professional in accordance with the product instructions
and applicable plumbing requirements.
Plumbing Recommendations
Provide dedicated and adequately sized hot and
cold water supplies.
Avoid unnecessarily long pipe runs that can
increase friction loss.
Confirm the manufacturer’s recommended supply
pipe size for the selected valve.
Where several valves share one supply, size the
main line for the combined demand.
Flush supply lines before installing the
cartridge or sensitive valve components.
Verify that both supplies can maintain the
required flow during operation.
Pressure-test the system before closing the wall.
Calibrate the temperature control during
commissioning.

Advanced Shower Mixers
Browse BathSelect shower mixers, thermostatic controls,
pressure-balancing configurations and coordinated shower
systems in a range of layouts and finishes.
A shower mixer combines hot and cold water and may also
regulate flow or direct water to different shower
outlets.
A mixer blends hot and cold water. A diverter directs
that mixed water to one or more shower outlets.
A thermostatic mixer provides more direct temperature
regulation, while a manual mixer offers simpler
mechanical operation. The best choice depends on the
project.
It typically controls three outlets, such as a rainfall
shower, hand shower and body-jet system. Actual
configurations vary.
Only mixers specifically designed for simultaneous
operation should be used this way. Confirm the valve
capacity and product instructions.
Compatibility depends on the minimum operating pressure
of the valve and the flow requirements of the connected
shower outlets.
Not always, but the heater must provide sufficient
temperature, flow and capacity for the selected shower
functions.
Many cartridges can be serviced through the trim
opening, but access requirements differ. Review the
installation instructions before closing the wall.
It is the internal valve component that responds to
mixed-water temperature and adjusts the hot and cold
blend.
Yes, when the valve has enough compatible functions and
the plumbing system can provide the required combined
flow.
Required pipe size depends on the valve, outlet demand
and project design. Follow the product documentation and
plumbing calculations.
Do not assume they are reversible. Install the hot and
cold supplies in the orientation stated in the
product-specific instructions.
Often yes, provided the valve design, piping layout,
access and installation instructions support the chosen
position.
Calibration normally involves measuring the outlet
temperature and adjusting the handle or cartridge
position according to the installation manual.
Consider available wall width, user reach, piping
direction, tile layout and the positions of the other
shower fixtures.
Use a soft cloth and mild cleaner appropriate for the
finish. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals.
Availability depends on the mixer model. Record the
product number and use compatible replacement
components.

Whether you are remodeling your existing shower bathroom or just building a new one you will need to know the basics before you start to Install supply plumbing and valve replacement (s) as needed. You feed the hot and cold water lines into the Shower Valve (which installed inside the wall), and the valve mixes that water to a pre-set warm Plumbing Recommendations
Do not pipe off the ring main, An independent water supply for both hot and cold is required, Large runs of pipework will cause frictional loss of pressure, The recommended primary water supply piping to valve shall be 3/4" minimum, If more than one valve installed, the recommended main water supply piping to valve shall be 1" minimum, reducing to 3/4" within 24" of each valve. Always ensure an adequate supply of both hot and cold water can maintain.
