I have a mixer with body jets and a bath filler — how many outlets do I need on an exposed valve?

If you want two shower heads, body jets and a bath filler you'll need a 4‑outlet valve; the filters on this range list 4‑outlet as suitable for exactly that configuration. For a shower head and a bath filler a 2‑outlet valve is enough, and 1‑outlet is for a single shower head. a 4‑outlet valve gives separate feeds so you can run an overhead shower, a handset, body jets and still fill the bath without compromising flow.

Should I buy a thermostatic or a manual exposed valve for family use?

Thermostatic valves are the safer choice for family bathrooms, they hold water temperature steady and prevent sudden scalds, and 33 of the valves shown are thermostatic compared with nine manual options. Manual mixers are simpler and can be more affordable if you don't need temperature lock or rapid temperature stability. If you have children or elderly users, a thermostatic valve (or a TMV3 unit like the Fitzroy PRO) offers extra peace of mind.

Will an exposed valve look right in a modern bathroom, or are they only for traditional styles?

Exposed valves are no longer just traditional, our range includes modern designs and matt black finishes as well as classic chrome. Eastlake and traditional ranges suit period bathrooms, while hansgrohe Vernis Blend or the ShowerTablet Select come in sleek contemporary styles and matt black. Pick a finish and shape that mirrors your taps and shower fittings so the valve reads as a deliberate design choice.

Can I get a valve with a built‑in bath filler or different flow rates?

Yes, some models include a bath filler or offer selectable flow rates; the hansgrohe ShowerTablet Select is available with an integrated bath filler and the Rebris S lists versions with two flow rates. A valve with a built‑in filler simplifies your water routing and looks neat if you want a combined shower and bath outlet. If you need higher or lower flow for a power shower or a low‑pressure system, choose a model that specifies flow‑rate options.

How do I match the valve finish with my other fixtures and what colour options are there?

The range offers classic chrome, matt black, chrome-and-black and chrome-and-white finishes, so you can coordinate with your taps, showerhead and accessories. For a seamless look choose the same finish family, chrome valves with chrome showerheads for a cohesive bathroom, or matt black valves with black accessories for a modern statement. Hudson Reed and hansgrohe both offer multiple finish choices, making it easier to match the rest of your scheme.

Exposed Shower Valves

Exposed valves not only look great but can also save you a load of time on installation. You don’t need to worry about with pipework inside the wall as the connections are usually in the shower enclosure space. This is particularly ideal in houses with solid brick walls. It used to be that exposed valves were primarily designed for traditional bathrooms but these days there are more and more modern designs available so you can afford to be picky when it comes to choice.
