Kartell K-VIT Kolt Concealed Shower Valve (Single Outlet) – Matt Black (SHO313KBL)

The Kartell K-VIT Kolt shower range matches the Kolt brassware. This is the concealed thermostatic shower valve, single outlet, in matt black.

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, you need the twin outlet valve. The price difference is small and it's not something you can add later without opening the wall.

This has to be planned before you tile

A concealed valve buries the mechanism in the wall, leaving only the control plate on show. 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.

The body is 210mm long. 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

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

Living with matt black

Matt black shows limescale more than chrome, and a shower valve sits in the wettest place in the house. Never use limescale remover or abrasives — the finish is a coating rather than plating and harsh chemicals will strip it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth only.

What else you'll need

The valve is the control only. Budget for a Kolt fixed head and arm or a Kolt slide rail kit with an outlet elbow.
