Product Details

The DUSC Core Round Rigid Riser Shower in Gunmetal is a dark, sophisticated gunmetal exposed thermostatic round rigid riser shower from DUSC's premium Core collection. Combining a hard-wearing gunmetal finish with smooth, reliable engineering, it delivers a designer look and dependable everyday performance, backed by a lifetime manufacturer's guarantee.

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 Gunmetal

Gunmetal grey is dramatic and moody — a designer favourite. It contrasts superbly with pale stone, white sanitaryware and bold feature tiles, lending a high-end, masculine edge to contemporary and industrial bathrooms.

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.

✔ Genuine DUSC Core — supplied direct by PlumbXtra. This is the authentic DUSC Core range, finished in premium PVD/electroplated coatings and covered by a lifetime manufacturer's guarantee. Expert UK support and fast delivery as standard.
