Shower manufacturer Methven has launched the Rua collection. into its Aurajet shower range.
The new Rua collection showcases an all new square handset design, with Methven’s patented Aurajet technology, and consists of four products – a standalone handset, rail shower, hand shower and cool-to-touch bar mixer.
At just 7.5L/min, the Rua handset’s water flow rate is Methven’s most water efficient product yet whilst still delivering a luxurious spray performance. It is also limescale resistant and can be easily fitted to existing shower hoses.
The Rua Hand Shower features the Rua handset and hose attachment, plus a quick-fit wall connector for easy installation that ensures perfect alignment and a water tight seal, while the Rua Rail Shower comes complete with an 800mm rail with adjustable wall mounting brackets for easy retro-fitting to existing installation holes. It also features a 1.5m twist-free, easy clean hose and chrome-plated soap dish.
The Rua Cool-to-Touch Bar Mixer features the square handset and Aurajet technology, in addition to thermostatic technology.
The bar shower’s thermostatic mixing technology monitors and continually adjusts the temperature level preventing cold shocks or hot scalds and, in the event of cold water supply failure, the thermostat shuts off the hot water supply completely. It also features an adjustable 38ºC temperature hot stop default safety setting, and the cool-to-touch technology ensures that the thermostatic bar design has an always-cool exterior, resulting in a safer shower environment for the entire family.
All products in the Rua collection are available in either chrome or white and chrome. All Rua handsets come with a lifetime warranty and are designed to perform at flow rates as low as 7.5L/min. A 9L/min flow restrictor is also included. Rua is designed for high pressure systems above 1.0 bar.
