What's Included
The AKW Arka thermostatic shower valve (25421-2) is a high-quality, versatile valve designed to deliver a safe and comfortable showering experience. Crafted from durable brass with a polished chrome finish, it combines long-lasting reliability with a sleek, modern look that complements any contemporary bathroom.
Brass Body with Chrome Finish
Designed with a brass body, this thermostatic shower valve is built to last and resistant to daily use. It's also resistant to corrosion and rust, even in wet environments. Meanwhile, the chrome finish makes it modern and well-suited for a variety of bathrooms.
Easy-Use Paddle Levers
This AKW shower valve features easy-use paddle levers, making it user-friendly and easy to switch settings with minimal pressure.
Independently Operated Controls
The independently operated controls allows you to operate the flow and temperature controls independently, putting you in control of the settings. So you can set the exact water temperature and water pressure or intensity separately.
Bottom Outlet
There are many benefits of a bottom outlet, such as making the hose less likely to protrude into the shower area, reducing the risk of tripping or accidental snagging.
Check Valves
It's fitted with check valves, which stop water from flowing backward into the hot or cold supply lines.
This prevents cross-contamination, which is especially important in systems connected to mains water or shared water supplies.
Water Pressure min. 0.2 Bar
Even at lower pressures, the shower can maintain a steady flow and temperature. This prevents frustrating fluctuations in water output, giving a more comfortable and reliable shower experience.
Back Water Entry
With back water entry, the plumbing connects directly from behind the valve into the wall. This hides pipework from view, giving a neat and uncluttered finish in the bathroom. Back entry also allows the valve to be fitted into walls without altering the visible layout of the shower area.
Max. Temperature Can Be Set to 41°C
A preset maximum of 41 °C helps prevent accidental burns, especially for children or those with sensitive skin.
Thermostatic Technology
With thermostatic technology, this shower valve maintains a stable temperature, reducing wasted water and preventing temperature fluctuations.
