TOTO SAPRES, TOTO PARTS, TOTO SPARE PARTS, TBS01304B1 84818020 Concealed Mixing Valve w/ Diverter Concealed A concealed mixing valve, also known as a concealed shower mixer or concealed shower valve, is a plumbing fixture used to control the temperature and flow of water in a shower. Unlike exposed shower valves, which are mounted on the surface of the wall, concealed mixing valves are installed within the wall, hidden from view. Here's a description of its components and how it works: Body: The main body of the concealed mixing valve is typically made of brass or other durable materials. It is installed inside the wall cavity during construction or renovation, with only the control handles or trim visible on the surface of the wall. Control Handles: Concealed mixing valves usually feature one or more control handles or levers that allow users to adjust the temperature and flow of both hot and cold water. These handles are connected to the valve mechanism inside the wall and protrude through an escutcheon plate or trim set on the wall surface. Valve Mechanism: Inside the body of the concealed mixing valve, there are mechanisms such as cartridges or thermostatic valves that regulate the mixing of hot and cold water. These components ensure that the water temperature remains constant and can be adjusted according to the user's preference. Trim Set or Escutcheon Plate: The trim set or escutcheon plate is the visible part of the concealed mixing valve that covers the hole in the wall where the valve is installed. It provides a decorative finish and may include labels or markings indicating which handle controls hot and cold water. Diverter (Optional): Some concealed mixing valves may include a diverter mechanism that allows users to switch between different shower functions, such as a handheld showerhead, overhead rain shower, or body jets. Installation: Installing a concealed mixing valve requires cutting a hole in the wall during construction or renovation. The valve is then secured within the wall cavity, and the plumbing connections are made to the hot and cold water supply lines. Once installed, the control handles or trim set are attached to the valve body, and the wall surface is finished around it. Concealed mixing valves offer a sleek and modern look to the shower area while providing precise control over water temperature and flow. They are often favored for their space-saving design and clean aesthetic appearance.
