Premium Dual Function Thermostatic Bar Shower System
The Roper Rhodes Harbour 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 chrome-plated brass body, 200mm overhead shower, single-function handset, and innovative Cool Touch technology. The anti-scald thermostatic protection with safety temperature stop ensures safe, consistent water temperature, making it perfect for family bathrooms and modern shower installations.
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 chrome-plated brass body construction, Cool Touch technology, and advanced safety features.
Brass Body Construction
The Harbour collection features premium brass body construction, offering superior durability and quality. Brass provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, whilst the finish creates a brilliant surface. This premium construction ensures long-lasting performance and a quality feel.
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 diverter valve provides control of two shower outlets - the 200mm overhead shower and the single-function 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.
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.
Single-Function Handset with Adjustable Riser Rail
The single-function handset provides reliable, straightforward performance. Mounted on a height-adjustable riser rail, the handset can be positioned at your preferred height for comfortable use by all family members.
Advanced Safety Features
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. These advanced safety features make it particularly important for households with children or elderly users.
Flow Regulator Compatible
This shower system is suitable for use with the Roper Rhodes shower flow regulator (EC01), allowing you to optimize water flow and efficiency for your specific installation requirements. This compatibility provides flexibility for fine-tuning performance and water consumption.
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.

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.
Benefits of Brass Body Construction
Chrome-plated brass body construction offers several advantages:
- Superior durability and longevity
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Premium quality feel and weight
- Long-lasting performance
- Maintains structural integrity over time
- Professional-grade construction
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 Harbour Collection
The Harbour collection combines contemporary square design with premium brass construction and advanced safety features. Each piece features quality craftsmanship, reliable thermostatic technology, Cool Touch innovation, and timeless styling. Available in chrome and matt black finishes to suit your design preferences.
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 brass construction provides long-lasting durability in both finishes.
