What is a bar valve shower?

A bar valve shower has its controls and water-mixing kit inside a square or round bar-shaped fitting on your shower wall.

It has two pipes leading into the back, which are often are hidden by covers and set 15cm apart – measured from the middle of each wall fitting (known as ‘150mm pipe centres’).

If this sounds like your shower, great news: you can use our Bar Valve Replacement Service.
