The Kartell Element Concealed Square Thermostatic Shower Valve gives a modern shower wall a clean, architectural focal point while keeping the working valve neatly out of sight. Its slim rectangular chrome plate is finished with two distinctive square controls: a broad upper lever for switching the water on and a compact lower control for setting the temperature. That strong geometric styling looks particularly convincing beside square shower heads, angular taps and straight-edged accessories. Designed for one shower outlet, the Element lets you choose a compatible head or slide rail separately and build a coordinated shower around the fitting you actually want.
Confirm the single-outlet arrangement, concealed wall depth and available water pressure before the pipework and finished wall are completed.
The rectangular faceplate and two angular controls coordinate neatly with cube shower heads, square outlet elbows and geometric brassware.
Only the chrome plate and controls remain visible, leaving the shower wall less crowded than an exposed valve installation.
The valve operates between 0.2 and 5 bar and is confirmed for combi boilers, unvented mains, gravity-fed systems and shower pumps.
SHO009EL serves one outlet and does not include a diverter for switching between an overhead shower and a separate handset.
The installation requires a concealed depth of 80–113mm behind the finished faceplate, which must be allowed for before tiling.
The hot and cold pressures must be balanced, so the existing supply arrangement should be checked before this valve is specified.
The broad upper lever switches the water flow on and off, while the lower square control adjusts the thermostatic water temperature. Keeping these functions on separate controls makes the shower straightforward to operate and allows the preferred temperature setting to be managed independently from the water flow.
The valve body requires an installation depth of 80–113mm behind the finished wall. Its vertical faceplate measures 215mm high by 120mm wide, with the two controls positioned 80mm apart. These dimensions should be checked before tiling or closing the wall so the valve body, connections and visible plate can all sit in their intended positions.
The valve is suitable for balanced hot and cold supplies between 0.2 and 5 bar. Its published flow rises from 5.7 litres per minute at 0.2 bar to 13.6 litres per minute at 1 bar and 28.5 litres per minute at 5 bar. Check the property’s working pressure and the requirements of the separately selected shower outlet before installation.
