Description
The Abode Kite Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve brings the distinctive Chesterfield-inspired design of the Kite collection to your shower installation. The concealed valve body is hidden within the wall, leaving only the elegant Kite control plate visible — with its signature quilted detailing — for a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The 2-exit configuration allows independent control of two separate shower outlets. Thermostatic temperature control maintains your selected temperature and provides anti-scald protection. Designed in Britain, crafted in Italy. Backed by a 2-year guarantee as standard, extendable to 15 years upon product registration.
⚠️ Concealed installation — professional installation essential. The valve body must be fitted during first fix, before tiling. Shower head, handset, and outlet accessories are not included — sold separately. Call us on 01603 381095 to confirm minimum pressure requirements before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a concealed thermostatic shower valve?
A concealed thermostatic shower valve has two components: a valve body installed within the wall during first fix (before tiling), and a decorative control plate fitted after tiling. The thermostatic element automatically maintains your selected water temperature, compensating for pressure fluctuations and providing anti-scald protection.
What does 2 exit mean?
A 2-exit valve has two separate outlet ports, each with its own on/off control — for example, a fixed overhead shower head and a handheld shower.
Are shower heads and accessories included?
No — the valve body and control plate are included, but shower heads, handsets, rails, and arms are sold separately. Call us on 01603 381095 for advice on compatible accessories.
When does the valve body need to be installed?
The valve body must be installed during first fix — before plastering and tiling. Professional installation is essential.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes — we can fulfil this product even when stock shows as zero. Place your order as normal and we'll confirm lead time, or call us on 01603 381095 or email customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk.
