Full Product Description
Simple Thermostatic Showering
The Tavistock Merit dual function bar shower system offers straightforward controls without unnecessary complication. One end of the exposed bar valve controls the water temperature, while the other controls the flow and directs water to the required shower outlet.
Thermostatic control helps maintain the selected water temperature during use. Anti scald protection provides added reassurance, while the valve is designed to shut down automatically if the cold water pressure suddenly fails. This makes the Merit a practical choice for busy bathrooms and family showering.
Two Showering Options
The large 200mm fixed overhead shower provides broad water coverage for an enjoyable rainfall style shower. Its round design creates a strong focal point while remaining easy to coordinate with chrome taps, wastes and enclosure fittings.
A separate multi function handset offers greater flexibility for rinsing hair, everyday washing and cleaning the showering area. The handset sits on an adjustable holder, while the riser rail can be adjusted between approximately 760mm and 1140mm to suit the installation space.
Clean Merit Styling
The Merit range uses rounded shapes and balanced proportions that work in both contemporary and more understated bathroom interiors. Its polished chrome finish reflects light and gives the complete system a clean, bright appearance.
Unlike the more expensive Merit Push Button model, the SMT1509 uses conventional separate controls and does not include Cool Touch technology. It is therefore ideal for customers who want the same Tavistock design quality and thermostatic protection at a more accessible price.
Easy Installation & Maintenance
The exposed wall mounted design keeps all the main components accessible and avoids the disruption associated with concealed shower valves. Tavistock supplies an easy fit compression fixing kit to help simplify installation.
Built in limescale resistance supports easier maintenance, while the supplied stainless steel hose provides a durable connection for the handset. The shower system requires a minimum recommended operating pressure of 1.0 bar.
