Premium Dual Function Thermostatic Bar Shower System in Matt Black
The Roper Rhodes Marine Dual Function Bar Shower System combines striking contemporary design with advanced thermostatic control in a 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.
Bold Matt Black Finish
The sophisticated matt black finish creates a striking contemporary statement that elevates modern bathroom design. This on-trend finish adds depth and drama to your shower area whilst coordinating beautifully with black bathroom fixtures, industrial styling, and contemporary schemes. The matt surface resists fingerprints and water marks better than glossy finishes, maintaining its pristine appearance with minimal maintenance.
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 coordinating matt black 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.
The Marine Collection
The Marine collection combines contemporary design with bold finishes and advanced safety features. Each piece features quality construction, reliable thermostatic technology, Cool Touch innovation, and striking matt black styling. The comprehensive guarantees (10 years on valves, 5 years on accessories) demonstrate Roper Rhodes' confidence in product quality.
Matt Black Finish Benefits
Matt black finishes offer several advantages over traditional chrome or glossy finishes:
- Creates bold, contemporary statement
- Resists fingerprints and water marks
- Adds depth and drama to bathroom design
- Coordinates with industrial and modern schemes
- On-trend finish for design-conscious homeowners

Care & Maintenance
Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to maintain the matt black finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough cloths that may damage the surface.
