This is the \u003cstrong\u003econcealed thermostatic shower valve with diverter\u003c\/strong\u003e, the two-outlet version and the most capable valve in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the diverter gives you\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo outlets and a control to switch between them — typically a \u003cstrong\u003efixed overhead drencher\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eslide rail kit with handset\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rainfall for showering, handset for rinsing, washing hair and cleaning the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's what most people want in a main bathroom, and it's the arrangement Ottone is really designed around. If you only need one outlet, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-concealed-thermostatic-shower-valve-brushed-brass-sho141ot\"\u003esingle outlet valve\u003c\/a\u003e costs meaningfully less — but adding a second outlet later means opening the wall, so decide now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThis has to be planned before you tile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA concealed valve buries the mechanism in the wall, leaving only the control plate on show. \u003cstrong\u003eThe valve body must be set at the right depth and height before the wall is boarded and tiled.\u003c\/strong\u003e Too deep and the plate won't sit flush; too shallow and it stands proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stud wall needs noggins to fix to; a solid wall needs chasing out. Kartell supply fitting instructions as well as a data sheet, both linked below — on a valve at this price, read them before the plasterer arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThermostatic, and why that matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolds the temperature you set even if water is drawn elsewhere in the house, and shuts down if the cold supply fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for all plumbing systems, with a \u003cstrong\u003eminimum pressure of 0.2 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. Worth being straight though: at that pressure an overhead drencher will feel like a drizzle. Rainfall heads want proper pressure to be worth having, so on gravity-fed plumbing budget for a pump if the drencher is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy brushed brass\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm and premium, and more forgiving than chrome day to day — the brushed surface hides water spotting and limescale better than a mirror finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOttone only really works as a scheme. Kartell make matching brass wetroom screens, bath screens, wastes, towel rails and brassware. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives and limescale remover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat else you'll need\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe valve is the control only.
