A shower set is one of the options for equipping the water intake point in a shower enclosure or bathroom. An important feature of such fixtures is their configuration. Typically, shower sets include the following components: a faucet, a handheld showerhead, an overhead shower, a wall-mounted rail for the overhead shower, accessory mounts, and more. The package of such plumbing fixtures contains everything necessary for installation and subsequent operation. Thus, you can buy a Valeso shower set and immediately proceed with installation without the need to search for additional components. Let’s take a closer look at the key components included in a shower set, including Valeso shower columns:
- Faucet. The main component of the system, responsible for mixing hot and cold water to achieve the desired temperature and pressure. In most cases, all control functions are performed via the faucet: adjusting temperature and pressure, selecting the water outlet (handheld or overhead shower, bidet sprayer, lower spout, etc.). In some models, switching between the handheld and overhead shower is done using a diverter located separately on the wall-mounted rail.
- Wall-mounted rail. A structure used for mounting accessories such as a handheld showerhead, soap shelf, and more. It also serves as a conduit for supplying water to the overhead shower. Some models feature a telescopic design, allowing users to adjust the height of the rail and, consequently, the position of the overhead showerhead.
- Overhead shower. A large, stationary showerhead that provides top-down water flow. Typically, it features a swivel joint for minor angle adjustments. The most common spray type is "rain shower," with no ability to change modes. Premium shower columns may offer multiple spray settings.
- Handheld showerhead. A traditional shower accessory mounted on a flexible hose, allowing the user to direct water as needed. Multi-function models include a switch on the showerhead to select the desired spray pattern.
- Shower hoses. Flexible hoses for supplying water to the handheld or bidet shower. Valeso shower sets primarily use hoses with PVC braiding and a rubber inner water conduit.
Diverter. This component enables the user to select the water outlet. With the diverter, water can be directed to the overhead shower, handheld showerhead, bidet sprayer, or lower spout. Depending on the model, the diverter may be integrated into the faucet body or positioned between the faucet and the shower rail. Some models include two diverters—one built into the faucet and another on the shower rail.
Materials
Modern Valeso shower columns use materials such as stainless steel SUS 201 or 304, brass, and ABS plastic. Decorative finishes include high-quality chrome plating, polished stainless steel, PVD electroplating, and thermally treated durable polymer coatings.
Features
Some Valeso shower faucets feature LED or digital temperature displays. These faucets are entirely safe, requiring no electrical connections or batteries. The indicator operates using minimal energy, which is self-generated from the water flow.
Certain models also include a bidet sprayer for enhanced hygiene. This sprayer has a dedicated button, activating water flow only when needed.
