About this product
The Bristan Evo Large Shower Handset offers a versatile showering experience for homeowners looking to upgrade their bathroom fixture. This handset is designed for use with most shower types, including those from Bristan, and connects via standard 1/2" BSP threads – making it compatible with a wide range of shower hoses. It’s suitable for both traditional and contemporary bathrooms alike, providing a modern touch.
This chrome-plated ABS shower head boasts a generous 120mm diameter, delivering invigorating sprays in three distinct modes: Rain, Massage, and a combined spray option. The handset is constructed with a white spray face and features a contemporary round shape, complementing various interior styles. It incorporates rub clean nozzles to help mitigate limescale build-up, a common issue in hard water areas.
Included with the handset is an 8 litre flow restrictor, easily removable if you desire greater water flow – though this does affect water efficiency at 0.21 GPM. The handset features three settings and one jet for adaptable shower experiences. It’s designed for wall-mounted installation and comes with fitting instructions for straightforward setup.
Please note that the handset itself doesn't include a hose or bracket, which are sold separately. This handset benefits from a 5-year manufacturer warranty, offering peace of mind alongside its durable build quality.
