Shower Faucets

[Windswept]

Tony....link looks interesting. I have one leaking (intermittent) for some reason. Maybe a piece of scale? Anway, our chrome also looks like crap. I wonder if these control valves come in Nickle? Reason I ask... I have already replace both sinks with nickle valves....(Gloria approval) , attempting to eleviate the chrome finger print effect, smile. Please let us know how the valve actually work? Thanks! Don

I found some on Amazon that look like they will do the trick, so didn't end up contacting them.

The secret was 150mm on centre rather than 6" on centre. Will be installing in a could of weeks. Here is the link:

I contacted Christian at the US Hylas, and he told me that they had gone to 4" center.  I will try contacting Queen Long directly.

any response from QL?

Tony,
When the faucets started leaking on our 2002 46 (which are the same as in your photos), I requested replacements from Queen Long, they arrived within a few days, were priced reasonably and no messing around to get things to fit! For the cost of an email you may want to check with them.
Cheers,

I'll check those out and let you know.

Thanks for the lead on Grotherm.

I just saw the photo's.  Those are the same as the one's I replaced but it looks like one is close to a corner.  The Grohtherm might not fit.

I don't know what's on a 54, but our shower valve has a 6" spread on the two pipes.  I replaced both shower valves with the Grohtherm 1000.  It was a bit difficult but it was worth it.  They look good and work great.  The thermostat feature is very nice to have and works well.

Tony:

On our H54, we had  leaky shower faucet.  I was able to take the valve cartridge to a plumbing supply store and get a replacement.  Probably could also take the guts of the swim platform shower valves to a plumbing store as well.  I am not sure about the replacement of the whole faucet.  Let us know if you find a supplier for the faucets,, at some point we will need to replace them as the chrome is getting pretty corroded.

Hello all,

I am the owner of a new (to me) 2005 Hylas 54.  Two of the shower faucets are leaking: the stern shower and the forward shower. These fittings are 6" on center, which is not a standard US size Pictures attached). Does anyone have any ideas on where to source replacements?

Thanks

Tony
