Introducing the Riobel 3-Way Type T/P (Thermostatic/Pressure Balance) Coaxial Valve Rough (R45), a high-performance rough-in valve engineered for precision control in your shower system. Proudly Canadian-made, this valve combines both thermostatic and pressure balance functionalities, ensuring an optimal and safe shower experience every time. Whether you're installing a new shower system or upgrading an existing one, the Riobel R45 offers exceptional reliability and performance, making it an essential component for modern, high-end showers.
Thermostatic and Pressure Balance in One
The Riobel R45 Coaxial Valve Rough stands out because it integrates both thermostatic and pressure balance functionalities in a single unit. This unique combination provides a dual-layer of protection and comfort, ensuring that water temperature remains consistent even when there are fluctuations in water pressure. The thermostatic feature precisely controls the temperature of the water, allowing you to set your desired temperature and forget about it. This is especially useful in households with multiple water outlets in use, where the risk of sudden temperature changes can otherwise cause discomfort or even scalding.
At the same time, the pressure balance function prevents sudden pressure changes from affecting the water flow, ensuring a steady stream of water regardless of other appliances being used (such as dishwashers or washing machines). This dual technology guarantees that you and your family can enjoy a comfortable and safe shower experience, no matter the circumstances.
Three-Way Functionality for Custom Showering
The 3-way function of the Riobel R45 Coaxial Valve adds versatility to your shower system by allowing you to control multiple water outlets, such as an overhead rain shower, a handheld shower, and body jets, all from one central control. This type of setup allows for a truly customized shower experience, whether you prefer a relaxing rain-like shower or a more invigorating spray from body jets. With the 3-way valve, switching between these outlets is effortless, and you can enjoy the flexibility of multiple showering options without the need for separate controls or additional installations.
Precision Control with Coaxial Design
The coaxial design of the Riobel R45 valve is another key feature that sets it apart. This advanced design provides enhanced precision in water temperature control and flow management. With coaxial valves, the controls for both water temperature and pressure are aligned on the same axis, making it easier to achieve the perfect shower settings with just one control. This streamlined operation not only simplifies the user experience but also gives the shower a cleaner and more modern look by reducing the number of visible controls on the shower wall.
Durable Canadian Craftsmanship
As with all Riobel products, the R45 Coaxial Valve Rough is made with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, ensuring that it stands the test of time. Proudly manufactured in Canada, this valve is built to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. Riobel is known for its attention to detail and commitment to excellence, and the R45 is no exception. The solid brass construction ensures that the valve is durable, resistant to corrosion, and capable of withstanding daily use in a busy bathroom environment.
The robust build of this valve rough-in is designed to handle high water pressures and temperature fluctuations without compromising on performance. Its leak-resistant design guarantees a long lifespan and reduced maintenance, giving homeowners peace of mind knowing they’ve invested in a quality product.
Easy Installation and Integration
The Riobel R45 Coaxial Valve Rough is designed for easy installation, making it an excellent choice for both new builds and bathroom renovations. The valve’s standard fittings ensure compatibility with most shower setups, and it can be seamlessly integrated with Riobel’s extensive range of trim kits and shower accessories for a cohesive look. The valve is designed to sit behind the wall, with the visible trim installed on the exterior, giving your shower a sleek and minimalist appearance.
Moreover, the R45 can be paired with Riobel’s various decorative trim options, allowing you to customize the look of your shower system to match your bathroom’s aesthetic. From modern chrome finishes to more traditional brushed nickel or matte black, Riobel provides a wide range of options that ensure your shower not only performs optimally but looks great too.
Safety First with Advanced Temperature Control
Safety is paramount when it comes to shower systems, especially in households with children or elderly individuals. The thermostatic control built into the Riobel R45 valve ensures that the water temperature stays constant once set, preventing the risk of accidental scalding. Additionally, the pressure balance feature protects against sudden changes in water pressure, so you don’t have to worry about cold water being diverted elsewhere while showering.
This advanced temperature control system makes the Riobel R45 valve a safer choice for families, as it automatically adjusts to changes in water temperature and pressure, maintaining a comfortable and safe showering environment.
