Showers installation is a very important part. The selection and installation of shower will affect the use effect in the future.
Pay attention to those small details and make yourself more comfortable!
How high is the shower properly installed?
When installing the shower, we should first determine the height of the shower mixing valve from the ground. Generally, we have determined the installation place of the shower before installing the shower. The distance between the shower mixing valve and the ground is generally controlled within a height range of about 90 ~ 100cm. In this range, we can also fine tune according to our height. However, it is generally not higher than 110cm. If it is too high, the shower riser may not be installed.
Generally, the reserved wire head of the installed shower faucet is just buried in the wall tile. It is best to cover it with a decorative cover. Otherwise it will not look very beautiful. Therefore, it is best for everyone to consider clearly the reserved position when laying the pipeline. Generally, it is 15mm higher than the blank wall, so that the wire head can be buried when pasting the ceramic tile to ensure the beauty of the wall. The reserved spacing of shower inner wire elbow is generally about 10 ~ 15cm for shower inner wire elbow. Generally, when buying a shower, the seller will give two adapters, so that the water outlet of the mixing valve can be well connected to the cold and hot water outlet on the wall. However, try not to use the adapter to transfer, which is more beautiful.
Which is better, open or concealed?
1. In terms of maintenance, open shower is more convenient.
If it breaks down, you can directly take it down and buy a new one. In addition to small problems, you can also directly replace small parts, which is very worry-free. If the concealed shower is installed, once there is a problem, everything is in the wall, which is difficult to repair.
2. In terms of price, surface mounted shower is more cost-effective.
Because the construction is simple and easy to operate, the cost is not high. If the concealed sprinkler is installed, it will be very troublesome to install, and the cost will be correspondingly high, which is also the reason why many families are deterred from the concealed sprinkler.
3. In terms of space, concealed installation is more economical.
This is also clear at a glance. The concealed shower hardware accessories are hidden in the wall, which will not take up too much space in the bathroom., The exposed shower will occupy more bathroom space because there are more exposed accessories.
4. In terms of appearance, the concealed outfit is more elegant.
There is no dispute about this issue. After all, the reason why a large number of friends like concealed showers is that the pipeline can be buried in the wall. The exposed integral shower pipe fittings exposed on the wall will make people feel messy and not high enough.
The standard for the reserved spacing of the inner wire elbow of the shower is that the concealed installation is 15cm, and the error is no more than 5mm, and the open installation is 10cm. Remember that they are all measured in the middle. If it is too wide or too narrow, it will not be installed. Do not rely on adjusting the wire alignment. The scope of adjusting the wire alignment is very limited.
The reserved wire head should take into account the thickness of the wall brick. It’s best to make it 15mm higher than the hairy embryo wall. If it is level with the hairy embryo wall, you will find that the wire head is too deep in the wall and can’t install the shower. However, you don’t dare to be too high above the wall. If it is too high, it will be decorated. It can’t cover the wire head and adjust the screw, and it’s ugly.
The water outlet of the inner wire elbow of the shower shall be well controlled. This is not only the provisions of the national specifications and the usage habits of the owners, but also the manufacturer’s products are produced according to the provisions of the left heat and right cold. If you make a mistake, some equipment may not work or damage the equipment. This should be noted when laying pipelines.
