What concealed valve?

[Bodgeitandleggit]

Guys/gals just after a bit of help... getting a bathroom refit and plumber has left me a list of the items I need to purchase as it will be about 4 weeks before he starts..he is on holiday so cant ask him. I am getting a concealed shower valve but looking at the ones I want the description is losing me. one says twin modern square shower valve with one outlet the other says twin square modern shower valve with diverter with two outlet.. the one I am currently using is run off the combi boiler with just a on/off dial and hot/cold dial to set at the desired temp.. any help would be great .. thanks

The one with two outlets will have a fixed shower head ,plus one on a flexi hose. T'other won't. Can't you see pics of what you are considering buying ?

Don’t go for a concealed valve... when the thermo or flow cartridges need replacing, they will cost you many £’s!
Go for either a bar mixer or a digital mixer in the loft/adjacent space/under bath!

Look up Aqualisa quartz digital or Mira or Crosswater.

I replaced a mixer bar shower yesterday, it took all of 10 minutes.

We call them Jewish valves... “Bar Mixer”

There is also the neat little fitting in copper -"The passover"
