Kartell K-VIT Ottone Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve – Brushed Brass (SHO141OT)

The Kartell K-VIT Ottone range is the brushed brass collection — warm, premium metalwork designed to run right through a bathroom, from taps to screens to showers. This is the concealed thermostatic shower valve, single outlet.

Single outlet or diverter?

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 valve with diverter. That's a meaningful step up in price on this range, but adding a second outlet later means opening the wall — so it's worth deciding properly now rather than economising.

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.

A stud wall needs noggins to fix to; a solid wall needs chasing out. Kartell supply fitting instructions as well as a data sheet — both are linked below, and on a valve at this price it's worth reading them before the plasterer arrives.

Thermostatic, and why that matters

A thermostatic valve holds the temperature you set even if water is drawn elsewhere in the house — so the shower doesn't run cold when a tap is turned on. It also shuts down if the cold supply fails.

Suitable for all plumbing systems, with a minimum pressure of 0.2 bar.

Why brushed brass

Warm and premium, and more forgiving than chrome day to day — the brushed surface hides water spotting and limescale better than a mirror finish, which counts for a lot in a shower.

Ottone only really works as a scheme. Kartell make matching brass wetroom screens, bath screens, wastes, towel rails and brassware, so the metalwork can carry right through the room. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives and limescale remover.

What else you'll need

The valve is the control only. You'll also need an outlet — either the Ottone fixed overhead drencher or the Ottone slide rail kit with a round outlet elbow.
