DUSC Core Round Rigid Riser Shower – Key Features

• Exposed thermostatic bar valve with anti-scald cartridge — holds a safe, steady temperature
• Dual function: fixed round drencher head plus an adjustable shower handset
• Rigid riser rail with height-adjustable handset bracket
• Two interchangeable handle styles included (diamond cross-hatch or smooth)
• Standard 150mm pipe centres for easy installation and replacement
• WRAS-approved; recommended 1.0 bar; lifetime manufacturer's guarantee

What water pressure does it need?

The DUSC Core Round Rigid Riser Shower operates from 1.0 bar up to 5 bar. That suits the majority of UK homes including combi-boiler and mains systems; for a gravity-fed system running below this, a pump gives the best performance.

Is it thermostatic and safe for children?

Yes. The built-in thermostatic anti-scald cartridge holds your chosen temperature and reacts instantly if the cold supply drops, preventing sudden hot or cold surges — making it a family-safe choice for homes with children or older adults.

Styling with Brushed Bronze

Brushed bronze adds depth and vintage-industrial character. Its warm, earthy tone pairs beautifully with darker schemes, exposed brick, terracotta and aged timber, creating a relaxed, lived-in luxury that stands apart from standard chrome.

Installation

This exposed fitting connects to 1/2" hot and cold supplies on standard 150mm pipe centres, making it a straightforward replacement for most existing bar valves. We recommend a qualified plumber to commission the thermostatic cartridge for safe operation.
