Tubico - Built-in thermostatic shower mixer 2-way rotary diverter 316L stainless steel Black PVD - T59406B

Built-in Thermostatic Shower Mixer

The Tubico T59406B thermostatic shower mixer represents a modern and reliable solution for residential and commercial shower systems. This built-in device is designed to ensure comfort, safety, and energy efficiency in daily shower use.

Main Technical Features

The mixer is made of 316L stainless steel, a material known for its corrosion resistance and durability over time. The Black PVD finish offers an elegant and modern look, while providing superior protective properties compared to standard finishes. The 2-way thermostatic system allows independent control of water temperature and flow, while the rotary diverter facilitates switching between the fixed shower head and handheld shower.

Operation of the Thermostatic System

Thermostatic technology maintains a constant water temperature during use, protecting against sudden variations that could cause discomfort or scalding risks. This system is particularly useful in homes with multiple water outlets, where pressure fluctuations are common. The thermostatic cartridge automatically adjusts the ratio of hot and cold water to maintain the set temperature.

Practical Applications

• Installation in modern and contemporary bathrooms
• Use in hospitality facilities and hotels
• Application in spas and wellness centers
• Shower systems in private homes
• Bathroom renovations with a minimalist design
• Commercial and public environments

Advantages of Built-in Installation

The built-in configuration allows for seamless integration into the wall, creating a clean and tidy appearance. This design reduces dust accumulation and facilitates cleaning compared to traditional wall-mounted models. Built-in installation requires proper planning during the construction or renovation phase, but the final aesthetic result is superior.

Installation Specifications

The mixer requires professional installation within the wall structure. An appropriate built-in box must be provided, and hot and cold water supply pipes connected. The rotary diverter allows for easy switching between the fixed shower head and handheld shower without the need for additional controls.

Materials and Durability

316L stainless steel is an alloy that contains molybdenum, giving it superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steel. The Black PVD finish is a physical coating that protects the underlying material and maintains the aesthetic appearance over time. These materials ensure a long lifespan even in humid environments and with hard water.

Temperature and Flow Control

The 2-way system allows independent adjustment of water temperature and flow. The thermostatic knob maintains the set temperature, while a second knob or lever controls the overall flow. This dual control offers maximum flexibility in daily use.

Rotary Diverter

The rotary diverter is a mechanism that allows the water flow to be switched between the fixed shower head and the handheld shower. This type of diverter is appreciated for its ease of use and reliability over time. Smooth and precise rotation ensures a change of direction without water leaks.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning of the mixer involves using a soft, damp cloth to remove limescale and dirt. In case of limescale build-up, specific cleaning solutions can be used without damaging the finish. The thermostatic cartridge is generally replaceable without the need to dismantle the entire mixer.

Compatibility and Connections

The mixer is compatible with standard plumbing systems that use copper, steel, or plastic pipes. Connections are generally threaded, allowing for a secure and reliable connection. It is important to check the dimensions and types of connections before purchasing to ensure compatibility with the existing system.

Energy Efficiency

Precise temperature control reduces hot water waste, contributing to lower overall energy consumption. Thermostatic technology eliminates the need to constantly adjust the flow to find the ideal temperature, reducing usage time and water consumption.

Design and Aesthetics

The Black PVD finish gives the bathroom a sophisticated and contemporary look. This dark color easily matches various interior styles, from minimalist to luxurious. The absence of visible elements on the wall, thanks to the built-in installation, contributes to a tidy and elegant aesthetic.

Safety in Use

The thermostatic system protects against accidental scalding by limiting the maximum water temperature. This is particularly important in households with children or the elderly. Automatic temperature regulation offers constant protection without requiring continuous manual intervention.
