Kartell K-VIT Kolt Fixed Head and Arm – Matt Black (SHO315KBL)

The Kartell K-VIT Kolt shower range matches the Kolt brassware. This is the fixed shower head and wall arm in matt black.

What it is

An overhead drencher head on a 400mm wall-mounted arm, giving rainfall-style coverage from above. It's the outlet, not the control — you need a shower valve to feed it.

Pair it with the Kolt single outlet valve if the drencher is all you want, or the twin outlet valve if you also want a handset on a slide rail.

Worth knowing before you buy

Unlike the Kolt valves, which are solid brass, this head and arm are 304 stainless steel and ABS. That's normal for drencher heads, but it's a different construction from the valve it pairs with — and it carries a 1 year guarantee where the valves get 3 years.

Positioning

Wall-mounted rather than ceiling-mounted, and the arm projects 400mm, so it needs a solid fixing. A drencher head wants to be roughly over the middle of the enclosure, not tight to the back wall.

Overhead drenchers want reasonable pressure to feel good. On a gravity-fed system a rainfall head can feel like a drizzle; if that's your setup, a handset gives a better shower.

Living with matt black

Matt black shows limescale more than chrome, and a shower head is constantly wet. Never use limescale remover or abrasives — which matters more here than anywhere, because descaling a blocked head is the usual fix and on this finish you can't. Wipe dry after use and clear the nozzles by rubbing them with a thumb instead.
