Two New Showerpipes from Hansgrohe: The Epitome of Showering Flexibility

ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA (OCTOBER 15, 2007) - Hansgrohe, the pioneer of preassembled and pre-plumbed shower systems, has developed two sleek shower systems that can be used to turn any bathroom into a wellness oasis. The Hansgrohe Showerpipe offers supreme flexibility and features a Raindance AIR showerhead and handshower as well as three integrated bodysprays. With a sleek, minimalist design, the Raindance Showerpipe provides a multi-functional showering environment, including a Raindance AIR showerhead and handshower.

Ultimate Freedom:
With the versatile Hansgrohe Showerpipe, the user can rotate both the Raindance 240 AIR Showerhead arm and the three built-in bodysprays side-to-side in the showering area. This swivel action allows users to pinpoint the sprays, but it also adds flexibility when it comes to installation.

Valve and volume controls are located in the center of the shower wall in many applications, but in some, the controls and connection lines are to the left or right - thus making room for bodysprays or shelves built into the stall. With the Hansgrohe Showerpipe, you can still use the existing connection lines and simply swivel the large overhead shower and bodysprays to face the center of the shower and the bather. This capability ensures installation ease and lowers costs, because installers do not have to move the water supply lines.

Available in chrome (list price: $1,785) and brushed nickel ($2,585), the Hansgrohe Showerpipe also features a Raindance S 100 AIR 3-Jet Handshower and an ingenious pipe-in-pipe system that makes it possible to control the 10-inch showerhead and the bodysprays separately. The thermostatic temperature regulator, volume control and diverter are all housed in one valve for installation ease.

All-in-One Solution:
With a clean, modern design, the Raindance Showerpipe features an oversized Raindance 240 AIR Showerhead that boasts a 10-inch spray face that delivers an impressive flow of water to completely envelop the body. Available in chrome ($1,295) and brushed nickel ($1,875), the showerpipe also provides flexibility to target all areas of the body with the Raindance S 100 AIR 3-Jet Handshower. The exposed thermostatic valve, featuring a 100 degrees F safety stop to prevent scalding, incorporates a diverter that allows you to quickly switch from showerhead to handshower, making the Raindance showerpipe a captivating, all-in-one solution.

Easy Installation:
These unique showerpipes are pre-plumbed and preassembled, making them perfect additions to any new construction or remodeling project.
