Whale AK1570 Mixer Valve Conversion Kit

Whale AK1570 Mixer Valve Conversion Kit

The Whale AK1570 Mixer Valve Conversion Kit is designed to adapt Whale wastewater pumps — including the Whale Switch Connect, Whale Automatic, and Whale Flow Connect — for use with mixer showers that feature both hot and cold water feeds.

This practical kit includes a flow switch and a flow restrictor that work together to regulate water flow, reduce gulley suction noise, and maintain smooth, efficient performance. By installing the included flow reducer into your shower hose, you can easily convert your existing Whale pump system for mixer shower compatibility.
