Hansgrohe iBox Universal - Plumbing Zone

SewerRatz · 07-23-2010, 10:52 PM

So I took a continued ed class last night at the Ferguson. It was put on by Hansgrohe. They where talking about the iBox Universal. I have to say its a pretty slick idea.

Its one rough in box that you can pick the type of valve you bolt up to it. You can put a pressure balancing type valve in the box. or a temperature balancing valve with volume control in the box. You can even change it in the future if the need called for it. You can even bolt on a shower tower to this box..

So have any of you all installed this system yet?

Wonder how that will play out with the new "showerhead" restrictions? And no I haven't installed one, yet.

Yea I was wondering that too. The pressure balancing valve will flow 6 GPM @ 45 PSI The Thermostatic valve will give 16 GPM @ 45 PSI. They say the gpm ratings given was plumbed in with 1/2" pipes. Another nice thing is the built in stops in the iBox.

Looks real nice and simple to install for sure.

A guy at the shop put in a couple Hansgrohe shower towers in a master shower. Not sure if that box was used. I've put tons of hansgrohe showers in and have never seen it either.
