Water mixer with two inlets and shower MONOLITH R0102010301

A shower with mixer combines hot and cold water at a single outlet, letting the operator adjust temperature and flow without moving between taps. The water is blended inside the body of the mixer, then directed through a spray head that breaks the stream into a wide, even pattern. This pattern covers a larger area than a single jet, so pots, trays and utensils are rinsed faster and with less water. The mixer's wheelbase determines the spacing between the mounting points, while the installation tolerance shows how much play is allowed when fitting the unit to existing pipework.

To use the shower, the operator turns the hot and cold levers until the water reaches the desired temperature. The flow rate is then set with the central knob. Once the water is running at the right pressure and warmth, the spray head is directed over the items to be rinsed. The wide coverage means fewer passes are needed, and the adjustable pattern can be switched from a gentle rinse for delicate items to a stronger jet for stubborn residues.

The shower is built on a 150 mm wheelbase, which matches standard pipe centres in commercial kitchens. A ±20 mm installation tolerance allows the unit to be mounted even when the existing pipework is not perfectly aligned. The body and spray head are made of materials chosen for resistance to high temperatures and frequent cleaning with kitchen chemicals.

Controls consist of separate hot and cold levers for temperature adjustment and a central flow-control knob. The levers let the operator fine-tune the mix, while the knob sets the volume of water delivered. The spray head's pattern selector is operated by twisting the outer ring, giving instant change between rinse modes.

A 150 mm wheelbase means the shower fits the standard spacing between supply pipes in most professional kitchens, reducing the need for additional pipework. The ±20 mm tolerance allows for minor misalignment during installation, so the unit can be mounted quickly without precise measurements. The materials used ensure the shower withstands daily exposure to heat, steam and cleaning agents, maintaining performance over time.

Cleaning involves wiping the body and levers with a damp cloth and a mild detergent to remove grease and food residues. The spray head should be detached periodically and soaked in a descaling solution to prevent limescale build-up, which can distort the spray pattern. The installation tolerance means the shower can be removed and refitted without tools if deeper cleaning of the surrounding area is needed.

The shower is catalogued under professional kitchen rinsing equipment, where it is grouped with other pre-rinse solutions for food service environments.
