Kartell K-VIT Kolt Concealed Shower Valve (Single Outlet) – Chrome (SHO303KCP)

The Kartell K-VIT Kolt shower range matches the Kolt brassware — a squared-off body with softly rounded edges. This is the concealed thermostatic shower valve, single outlet, in polished chrome.

Single outlet or twin?

Single outlet (this one) feeds one thing — either a fixed overhead drencher or a slide rail kit with handset, not both.

If you want both, and the ability to switch between them, you need the twin outlet valve, which has a diverter built in. The price difference is small and it's not something you can add later without opening the wall — so decide now.

This has to be planned before you tile

A concealed valve buries the mechanism in the wall, leaving only the control plate on show. That's the cleanest look available, but the valve body must be set at the right depth and height before the wall is boarded and tiled. Too deep and the plate won't sit flush; too shallow and it stands proud.

A stud wall needs noggins to fix to; a solid wall needs chasing out. Read the data sheet before you commit to a position.

Thermostatic, and why that matters

A thermostatic valve holds the temperature you set even if water is drawn elsewhere in the house, and shuts down if the cold supply fails.

What else you'll need

The valve is the control only. You'll also need an outlet — either a Kolt fixed head and arm or a Kolt slide rail kit with an outlet elbow.
