Shower heads and tapware must suit the connection, available space and applicable installation requirements. Appearance and a familiar-looking thread are not enough to establish compatibility.
Record the existing arrangement
Note whether the fitting is wall-mounted, deck-mounted, handheld or part of a rail system. Measure the relevant reach and clearance, then have the plumber confirm connection details and the suitability of the proposed replacement.
| Detail | What to obtain |
|---|---|
| Connection | Exact specification and required components |
| Reach and height | Position over the basin or within the shower |
| Documentation | Applicable WaterMark and WELS information for the product |
| Installation | Manufacturer's instructions and the plumber's requirements |
Compare the complete package
Check whether hoses, rails, brackets, wastes or other pictured parts are included. A tap body and a complete installation kit may be sold separately. For a shower system, confirm that all selected components are intended to work together. Use the official WaterMark product search and relevant WELS information where applicable, and have the installer resolve uncertainty before purchase. Do not assume a high-pressure claim suits every water supply. A documented fit and suitable installation are more useful than choosing solely from finish, shape or the number of spray settings.
