Premium Dual Function Thermostatic Bar Shower System
The Roper Rhodes Marine Dual Function Bar Shower System combines contemporary design with advanced thermostatic control, available in your choice of brilliant chrome or bold matt black finish. This exposed bar valve system features a 200mm overhead shower, multi-function handset, and innovative Cool Touch technology that keeps the valve safe to touch during use. The thermostatic control with anti-scald protection ensures safe, consistent water temperature, making it perfect for family bathrooms and modern shower installations, backed by a 10-year guarantee on valves and 5-year guarantee on accessories.
Two Premium Finish Options
Choose from two stunning finishes to perfectly suit your bathroom design:
-
Chrome - Brilliant, timeless finish with easy-clean surface that coordinates with any bathroom style
-
Matt Black - Bold, contemporary statement finish that adds depth and drama whilst resisting fingerprints
Both finishes feature the same premium quality construction, Cool Touch technology, and comprehensive guarantees.
Cool Touch Technology
The innovative Cool Touch technology ensures the exposed bar valve remains safe to touch during use, preventing burns from hot valve surfaces. This advanced safety feature is particularly important in family bathrooms where children or elderly users might accidentally touch the valve during showering.
Dual Function Thermostatic Control
The exposed thermostatic bar valve provides independent control of two shower outlets - the overhead shower and the handset. Separate flow and temperature controls with safety temperature stop function allow you to set your preferred temperature once, then simply control the flow and switch between outlets. The thermostatic technology maintains constant temperature even when water pressure fluctuates, preventing dangerous temperature spikes.
200mm Overhead Shower
The generous 200mm (8 inch) overhead shower head delivers a luxurious rainfall shower experience in your chosen finish. The large diameter provides excellent coverage whilst the premium construction ensures durability and a cohesive aesthetic with the bar valve.
Multi-Function Handset with Adjustable Riser Rail
The 110mm handset features 3-function control, allowing you to switch between spray patterns for versatile showering. Mounted on a height-adjustable riser rail, the handset can be positioned at your preferred height for comfortable use by all family members.
Anti-Scald Thermostatic Safety
The premium thermostatic cartridge provides essential anti-scald protection by maintaining your selected water temperature with precision. The safety temperature stop function prevents accidental selection of dangerously high temperatures. This advanced safety feature automatically compensates for pressure fluctuations to prevent sudden temperature changes, making it particularly important for households with children or elderly users.
Exposed Bar Valve Installation
The exposed bar valve design mounts directly onto the wall surface, making installation simpler than concealed systems. The bar valve compression quick fixing kit is included for straightforward installation. This installation method is ideal for retrofit projects and bathroom renovations where concealed installation isn't practical.
10-Year Valve Guarantee
Backed by a comprehensive 10-year guarantee on valves (including thermostatic cartridge) and 5-year guarantee on shower accessories, this shower system demonstrates Roper Rhodes' commitment to quality and durability, providing long-term peace of mind and exceptional value.

Installation Requirements
Suitable for exposed installation on wall surfaces. Minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar required for optimal performance. The exposed bar valve mounts directly onto the wall, making installation simpler than concealed systems. Bar valve compression quick fixing kit included. Professional installation recommended to ensure correct positioning, proper sealing, and optimal performance. Ensure adequate wall strength and access to hot and cold water supplies.
Understanding Cool Touch Technology
Traditional exposed shower valves can become dangerously hot during use as hot water flows through the valve body. Cool Touch technology insulates the valve exterior, keeping it safe to touch even during extended hot showers. This innovation prevents accidental burns, particularly important in family bathrooms where children might touch the valve.
Understanding Thermostatic Bar Valves
Thermostatic bar valves maintain your selected temperature by automatically mixing hot and cold water, compensating for pressure fluctuations in your plumbing system. The exposed bar design mounts on the wall surface rather than being concealed, making installation and future maintenance simpler. The safety temperature stop function prevents accidental selection of scalding temperatures.
Choosing Your Finish
Chrome: The classic chrome finish offers timeless versatility with a brilliant, reflective surface that coordinates with any bathroom style. Easy to clean and maintain, chrome resists tarnishing and provides enduring appeal.
Matt Black: The contemporary matt black finish creates a bold statement that adds depth and drama to modern bathrooms. The matt surface resists fingerprints and water marks better than glossy finishes, whilst coordinating beautifully with industrial and contemporary schemes.
The Marine Collection
The Marine collection combines contemporary design with advanced safety features. Each piece features quality construction, reliable thermostatic technology, Cool Touch innovation, and timeless styling. Available in chrome and matt black finishes to suit your design preferences. The comprehensive guarantees (10 years on valves, 5 years on accessories) demonstrate Roper Rhodes' confidence in product quality.
Care & Maintenance
Chrome: Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water marks and maintain the brilliant shine.
Matt Black: Clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The matt finish naturally conceals fingerprints and water marks.
The thermostatic cartridge provides long-lasting, maintenance-free operation in both finishes.
