Premium Dual Function Thermostatic Bar Shower System in Chrome
The Roper Rhodes Spirit Dual Function Bar Shower System combines contemporary design with advanced thermostatic control in a brilliant chrome finish. This exposed bar valve system features a 200mm overhead shower, multi-function handset, Cool Touch technology, and advanced safety features including automatic cold water fail-safe. The anti-scald thermostatic 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.
Brilliant Chrome Finish
The classic chrome plating creates a brilliant, easy-clean surface that complements both contemporary and traditional bathroom designs. The chrome finish resists water marks and tarnishing, maintaining its pristine appearance with minimal maintenance whilst providing timeless versatility that coordinates with any bathroom style.
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 multi-function handset. 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 chrome 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 3-function handset allows 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.
Advanced Safety Features
The premium thermostatic cartridge provides essential anti-scald protection by maintaining your selected water temperature with precision. The system includes automatic shutdown if cold water pressure should suddenly fail, preventing scalding from hot water only. These advanced safety features make 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 fixing kit is included for straightforward installation. This installation method is ideal for retrofit projects and bathroom renovations.
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 0.5 bar required for optimal performance. The exposed bar valve mounts directly onto the wall, making installation simpler than concealed systems. Bar valve 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.
Cold Water Fail-Safe Protection
The automatic cold water fail-safe is an important safety feature that shuts down the shower if cold water pressure suddenly fails. This prevents scalding from hot water only flowing through the system, providing an additional layer of protection beyond standard thermostatic control.
The Spirit Collection
The Spirit collection combines contemporary design with advanced safety features. Each piece features quality construction, reliable thermostatic technology, Cool Touch innovation, and timeless styling. The comprehensive guarantees (10 years on valves, 5 years on accessories) demonstrate Roper Rhodes' confidence in product quality.
Chrome Finish Benefits

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