Tavistock Index shower bar valve
I needed an urgent replacement for a failed wall mounted thermostatic shower bar valve which had to be square cross section and 150mm between feeds. The Tavistock QS-V7235 on the QS web site looked ideal and well-priced but I have always had Mira units and only recently acquired a difficult-to-find-at-right-price replacement top quality Mira Excel shower valve from QS. Unlike Mira the Tavistock web site does not offer much helpful information on shower valves beyond basic fitting diagrams but on the assumption that Tavistock produces some of the best quality bathroom sanitary ware available I hoped that the "metal ware" would be on a par standard. QS delivered the item the very next day and I had it fitted and working within an hour. The build quality of the valve unit and controls is excellent and it came with adjustable connectors to match variable input feed separation other than 150mm - a valuable accessory but not mentioned in the blurb. I was impressed with the clever stainless steel mesh filter inserts shaped to fit neatly into existing 15mm feeds. It took only a few minutes to fit and tighten the new Tavistock unit onto the existing feeds and after connecting the shower head and turning on the valve it became immediately apparent that this was undeniably an extremely high quality unit. The flow was superb the spray distribution from the flat head pretty perfect and the temperature remained stable at whatever setting. The fact that Tavistock provides a 10 year guarantee with the unit supports my own opinion regarding its quality and suitability for purpose. Kudos to Tavistock for such a quality unit and more-so to QS for offering such top quality items at such keen prices.
