Shower sets comprise a complete shower fitting consisting of a Hand shower, hose and mounting Bracket. They are essential equipment for shower enclosures and baths with a shower function. They connect easily to a wall-mounted mixer and provide comfort during everyday use. The Kuchinox range includes options suited to different installation requirements and user preferences.
Shower set variants - installation and adjustment
Shower sets differ mainly in how the Hand shower is mounted. Two main solutions are available, making it easy to choose a set that suits the size of the bathroom and its technical conditions:
- Wall-bracket shower sets - minimalist sets in which the Hand shower rests in a small Bracket fixed directly to the wall. They work well in compact bathrooms, above baths and as an addition to systems with an Overhead rain shower.
- Riser rail shower sets - fitted with a vertical rail and sliding Bracket. They allow smooth adjustment of the Hand shower height, making the shower comfortable for users of different heights, including children. Selected models also feature an integrated Soap dish for added convenience.
Hand shower and shower hose functionality
Shower comfort depends on the specifications of the individual components. Kuchinox products use solutions that make everyday washing and maintaining the fittings easier.
- Stream types - variants are available with one basic Rain stream or with three modes (Rain, Mixed and Hydromassage), selected using the spray plate or a switch on the Hand shower.
- Anti-Calc system - rubber nozzles on the face of the Hand shower make limescale deposits easier to remove. Rubbing them by hand quickly clears the nozzles and helps maintain the correct water pressure.
- Length of hose - the sets use shower hoses with a length of 1200 mm or 1500 mm. Shorter hoses work well in compact shower enclosures, while longer versions provide greater freedom of movement, especially around baths.
- Hose anti-twist system - the special hose design helps prevent inconvenient tangling, extending the material's service life and making the Hand shower easier to manoeuvre.
Saving water while showering
Kuchinox shower sets support sensible water use at home. Most models have a low Flow class (Z <= 12 l/min or even Z <= 7.2 l/min). These specifications mean Low water consumption without a noticeable reduction in the force or comfort of the stream.
Colours to suit the bathroom design
Alongside classic models with a glossy Chrome finish, the range includes fittings aligned with current bathroom trends. Black variants complement industrial and loft-style interiors, creating a strong contrast against light-coloured tiles. A series with Rose gold details is also available for elegant, contemporary bathrooms.
Compatibility with water system components
When choosing shower sets, connect them to a standard wall-mounted bath or shower mixer. The solutions in the Kuchinox showers category use standard threads, ensuring straightforward installation. If the mounting components in the bathroom are still in good condition, replacing only the Hand showers is enough to refresh the appearance of the shower area. More extensive shower columns provide an alternative to Hand shower sets and also offer a stream from the Overhead rain shower.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a wall-bracket set and a riser rail set?
A wall-bracket set uses a small, fixed Bracket attached to the wall, so the position of the Hand shower cannot be adjusted. A riser rail set has a rail along which the Bracket moves, allowing smooth adjustment of the water stream height.
Will the hose and Hand shower fit every mixer?
Yes. Shower sets use standard connections with a 1/2-inch Connection thread. This makes them compatible with most shower and bath mixers available on the market.
How should a Hand shower with the Anti-Calc system be cleaned?
To remove limescale deposits from the nozzles, regularly rub the silicone projections on the face of the Hand shower with a finger or a soft sponge. No strong cleaning chemicals are required.
When is it worth choosing a longer shower hose?
A hose with a length of 1500 mm is most suitable for baths with a shower screen, large shower enclosures and bathing small children, as it provides greater reach and freedom of movement. In compact enclosures, a 1200 mm model will be sufficient.
