The Axor Citterio single lever manual shower mixer is a sophisticated and elegantly designed fixture intended for concealed installation, offering a minimalist aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into modern bathroom environments. Crafted with a chrome finish, this shower mixer is designed to provide precise control over water flow and temperature for a single function, typically a shower outlet. Its concealed installation means that the majority of the mixer's components are hidden within the wall, leaving only the sleek lever handle and a minimalist escutcheon visible, contributing to a clean and uncluttered look in the shower area.
At its core, the Axor Citterio shower mixer serves as the central control unit for a single shower function. It operates with a single lever handle, which allows users to intuitively adjust both the water temperature and flow rate. The internal ceramic cartridge is a key component, responsible for the smooth and precise operation of the lever, ensuring reliable performance and preventing drips. This cartridge technology is known for its durability and resistance to wear, contributing to the longevity of the mixer.
The mixer is designed to function effectively within a specific range of water pressures, ensuring optimal performance in various plumbing systems. A notable feature is the ability to adjust the maximum temperature during installation. This safety feature allows installers to set a temperature limit, preventing accidental scalding, which is particularly beneficial in households with children or elderly individuals. This pre-set maximum temperature provides peace of mind and enhances user safety.
The connection type for this mixer is a basic set, indicating that it requires a separate concealed body (a "concealed item" as listed in the spare parts) to be installed within the wall. This modular approach allows for flexibility in installation and ensures that the visible trim parts can be easily replaced or updated without disturbing the in-wall plumbing.
The primary usage feature of the Axor Citterio mixer is its intuitive single-lever operation. Moving the lever in one direction typically controls the temperature, while moving it in another direction or pulling it outwards controls the water flow. This ergonomic design makes it easy for users to find their desired shower settings quickly and efficiently, even with wet hands. The smooth movement of the lever, facilitated by the ceramic cartridge, provides a luxurious feel and precise control, enhancing the overall showering experience.
The chrome surface finish is not only aesthetically pleasing but also contributes to the user experience. Chrome is known for its reflective quality, which brightens the bathroom, and its smooth texture, which is pleasant to touch. The minimalist design, with only the lever handle and escutcheon visible, integrates effortlessly into various bathroom styles, from contemporary to classic, making it a versatile choice for different interior designs.
For installations where the wall might not be deep enough, an escutcheon with a specific height (33 mm) is available, offering a practical solution to ensure a flush and aesthetically pleasing finish. This attention to detail in design and installation options highlights Axor's commitment to both form and function.
Maintenance for the Axor Citterio shower mixer is designed to be straightforward, focusing on the longevity of its components and ease of access for servicing. The use of a ceramic cartridge is a significant maintenance advantage. Ceramic cartridges are highly durable and resistant to mineral buildup, which is a common cause of leaks and stiff operation in traditional rubber-washer faucets. This reduces the frequency of internal component replacement.
Should any internal components require attention, the design allows for relatively easy access to the concealed parts. The visible handle and escutcheon can be removed to access the underlying cartridge and other internal mechanisms. The spare parts list provides a comprehensive overview of all replaceable components, from the handle and screw cover to various O-rings, seals, and the ceramic cartridge itself. This detailed listing, along with specific part numbers, simplifies the process of identifying and ordering replacement parts, ensuring that the mixer can be maintained and repaired over its lifespan.
Items like the "screw cover" and "set of fixing screws" indicate that the visible parts are designed to be securely attached yet removable for servicing. The "flange (Rotating Protector)" and "holder for escutcheon" further suggest a well-engineered assembly that protects internal components while allowing for easy disassembly when needed.
The availability of extension pieces (e.g., "extension 25 mm," "extension 22 mm") in the spare parts list is a practical maintenance feature, allowing for adjustments or repairs related to the depth of installation without needing to replace the entire unit. This flexibility is valuable in situations where minor modifications or repairs are necessary due to changes in wall structure or plumbing.
Overall, the Axor Citterio single lever manual shower mixer is a testament to thoughtful design, combining elegant aesthetics with practical functionality and user-friendly maintenance, ensuring a reliable and enjoyable showering experience for years to come.
