The pressure balance valve is an integral part of any new shower installation. Installing the valve can sometimes be labor-intensive, though. Fortunately GROHE now provides a simplified pressure balance platform to streamline specifying and installation while providing sought-after showering features and aesthetics — the GrohSafe 3.0 pressure balance valve with integrated diverter and matching two-handle trims.
The latest pressure balance valve system enables builders, designers and plumbers to more easily specify and install GROHE showering solutions with versatility and dependability for the discerning consumer. The valve is designed to make installation easier than ever by eliminating the need to install and align a separate diverter and separate trims, thereby reducing labor costs and saving time during the build-and-install process. The valves feature convertible functionality and utilize the same body for both two- and three-way water applications. This enables effortless control of body sprays, hand showers and showerheads from a single two-handle trim to deliver a luxurious showering experience.
“Our customers look to GROHE for the most innovative, advanced shower solutions, and since the GrohSafe 3.0 pressure balance valve has a built-in diverter, this reduces complexity during a big pain point for our PROs — the shower installation process,” says Libby Gerberi, senior brand specialist at GROHE. “The improved valve makes it easier to design, build and install multifunction showering systems that deliver authentic spa-like experiences. Additionally, they control up to three water functions in a single trim, enabling a sleek, minimalist shower design to make your GROHE dream shower a reality.”
The compact size and flat back design of the GroheSafe 3.0 Pressure Balance Valve offers extreme versatility and ensures an easy fit in tight spaces and thin walls. It also enables effortless back-to-back installations for multifamily residences or apartments. Featuring GROHE’s double ceramic technology, the one-piece pressure balance cartridge and mixing discs flawlessly deliver an ideal blend of hot and cold water while the pressure balancing spool reacts quickly to changes in water pressure to prevent scalding. This duo, made of high-grade ceramic, resists mineral buildup and harsh water conditions, ensuring safe, leak-free performance and longevity.
The GrohSafe 3.0 is designed to pair with GROHE’s array of all-metal two- and three-way trims. Concealed mounting creates a clean, sophisticated look with no visible screws to obstruct the trim’s polished appearance. The metal wall plate and handle ensure long lasting durability. 800-444-7643; www.grohe.us
