Shower head is a very important part. The choice and installation of the shower head will affect the future use effect.Pay attention to those little details and make yourself more comfortable!
What is the appropriate height for the shower head?
When we install the shower, the first thing we need to determine is the height of the shower mixing valve from the ground. Generally, before installing the shower, we have already determined the installation place of the shower. Then the distance between the shower mixing valve and the ground is generally controlled within the height range of about 90~100cm. Within this range, we can also fine-tune according to our own height. But generally it should not be higher than 110cm, if it is too high, it may cause the shower head riser to not be installed.
Generally, the reserved wire head of the installed shower faucet is just buried in the wall tile. Covering just right with a decorative cap is best. Otherwise, it will not look very beautiful. Therefore, it is best for everyone to consider clearly when laying pipes. Generally, it is 15mm higher than the rough wall, so that when the tiles are pasted, the silk head can be buried to ensure the appearance of the wall. The spacing reserved for the inner wire elbow of the shower head is generally about 10~15cm for the spacing reserved for the inner wire elbow of the shower head. Generally, when buying a shower head, the seller will give two adapters, so that the water outlet of the mixing valve can be well connected to the hot and cold water outlet on the wall. However, try not to use the adapter to transfer as much as possible, which is more beautiful.
Which is better, exposed or concealed?
1. In terms of maintenance, the surface mounted shower is more convenient.
If it is broken, you can directly remove it and buy a new one. In addition to small problems, you can also directly replace the small parts, which is very worry-free. If there is a concealed shower, once there is a problem, everything will be inside the wall, which is difficult to repair.
2. In terms of price, surface mounted showers are more cost-effective.
Because the construction is simple, easy to operate, and the cost is not high. If a concealed shower is installed, it will be very troublesome to install, and the cost will be correspondingly high, which is why many families are discouraged from concealed showers.
3. In terms of space, concealed installation saves more space.
This is also clear at a glance. The concealed shower hardware accessories are hidden in the wall and will not take up too much space in the bathroom. , The exposed shower will take up more space in the bathroom because of the exposed accessories.
4. In terms of appearance, concealed clothes are more stylish.
There is no controversy about this issue. After all, the reason why a large number of friends like to install concealed showers is that the pipelines can be buried in the wall. The exposed integral shower pipe fittings exposed on the wall will give people a messy feeling and look not advanced enough.
The standard for the reserved spacing of the inner wire elbow of the shower head is that the error of concealed installation is 15cm and the error is not more than 5mm, and the exposed installation is 10cm. Remember to measure in the middle. If it is too wide or too narrow, it will not fit. Don’t rely on the adjustment of the wire. The adjustment range of the wire adjustment is very limited.
Reserve the wire head to consider the thickness of the wall tiles. It is best to make it 15mm higher than the rough wall. If it is level with the rough wall, after the wall tiles are pasted, you will find that the wire head is too deep in the wall. If it is not good, it will not be able to install the shower. However, I do not dare to be too high above the wall. If the height is too high, the decorative cover will not cover the wire head and the adjustment screw will be ugly.
It is not only a matter of national regulations and the usage habits of the majority of owners, but more importantly, the products of the manufacturers are also produced in accordance with the regulations of left heat and right cold. , if you get it wrong, it may cause some equipment not to work, or damage the equipment. This should be taken into account when laying pipes.
