Shower Faucets

A shower faucet (also called a shower valve or showerhead faucet) is a bathroom hardware component installed on the wall of the shower area to control the hot and cold water flow and switch the shower spray. Unlike bathtub faucets and basin faucets, it is usually used in conjunction with an overhead showerhead or hand showerhead. Some models also have a spray pattern switching function, and some high-end models even have a thermostatic function.
