One SKU then covers anti-scald safety, housekeeping speed and spare-part standardisation.<\/p>\n<p>The catch: a refit is constrained by what is already inside the wall. Cavity depth, water pressure and the condition of the old rough-in decide the answer before your design intent does.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the five decisions that settle it, a spec sheet by hotel tier, and the rough-in checks to run before you raise a purchase order.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f2fafb; border-left: 4px solid #0a9899; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><strong>Short answer:<\/strong> for a 4-star refit, specify a thermostatic concealed shower set with a brass rough-in body, a 2-function diverter (rain head plus hand shower), a 38 \u00b0C preset stop and an EN 248 chrome or PVD finish. For economy rooms and back-of-house showers, a manual single-lever concealed mixer is the cost-effective equivalent. Confirm cavity depth before you order either.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div

It holds the set temperature when pressure changes elsewhere in the building, which is the single most common cause of shower complaints and scald incidents in hotels. A manual single-lever set is defensible in economy rooms, staff showers and markets where the code does not require anti-scald protection, and it costs roughly half the premium of a thermostatic body.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_reuse_the_existing_concealed_rough-in_body_during_a_refit\"><\/span><span id=\"Can_I_reuse_the_existing_concealed_rough-in_body_during_a_refit\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><span id=\"Can_I_reuse_the_existing_concealed_rough-in_body_during_a_refit\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Can I reuse the existing concealed rough-in body during a refit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Only if it is the same brand and series as the new trim, and only if it passes a pressure test. Trim kits are not interchangeable between manufacturers, so any unknown body should be treated as a full replacement. If the existing body is a known model still in production, a trim-only swap avoids opening the wall and can cut the per-room installation cost substantially.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_wall_cavity_depth_does_a_concealed_shower_set_need\"><\/span><span id=\"How_much_wall_cavity_depth_does_a_concealed_shower_set_need\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><span id=\"How_much_wall_cavity_depth_does_a_concealed_shower_set_need\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>How much wall cavity depth does a concealed shower set need?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A standard universal rough-in body needs 60\u201390 mm from the finished wall face to the back of the cavity. Slim bodies work down to about 45 mm, and extension kits take standard bodies out to roughly 120 mm. Below 45 mm, concealed is usually not viable and an exposed shower column is the better answer. Always measure several rooms, because stud partitions and wet-wall build-ups vary across a floor plate.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_finish_lasts_longest_in_a_hotel_bathroom\"><\/span><span id=\"Which_finish_lasts_longest_in_a_hotel_bathroom\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><span id=\"Which_finish_lasts_longest_in_a_hotel_bathroom\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Which finish lasts longest in a hotel bathroom?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chrome to EN 248 remains the most forgiving choice for high-turnover housekeeping, because it tolerates almost any cleaning agent and is the easiest to match years later. PVD finishes, including matte black and brushed gold, are harder and more abrasion-resistant, but they need pH-neutral cleaners and no abrasive pads. In hard-water regions, brushed finishes hide spotting better than polished ones.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_spare_cartridges_should_a_hotel_stock_per_100_rooms\"><\/span><span id=\"How_many_spare_cartridges_should_a_hotel_stock_per_100_rooms\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><span id=\"How_many_spare_cartridges_should_a_hotel_stock_per_100_rooms\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>How many spare cartridges should a hotel stock per 100 rooms?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Five cartridges per 100 rooms is a working rule of thumb, alongside ten spare hoses or hand showers and about twenty gasket sets. Hold more if your water is hard or if incoming pressure exceeds 5 bar, as both shorten cartridge life. Standardising on one cartridge across the basin and shower fittings in a room reduces the number of distinct spares your engineering team has to carry.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_resources\"><\/span><span id=\"Related_resources\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><span id=\"Related_resources\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Related resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0 0 18px 22px; padding: 0; line-height: 1.8;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fuaocn.com\/es\/blog\/industry-news\/concealed-vs-exposed-shower-systems-which-one-is-right-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Concealed vs exposed shower systems: which one is right for you<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fuaocn.com\/es\/blog\/industry-news\/how-to-install-a-concealed-shower-set-a-step-by-step-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to install a concealed shower set: a step-by-step guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fuaocn.com\/es\/blog\/industry-news\/how-to-read-bathroom-faucet-specifications-commercial-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to read bathroom faucet specifications for commercial projects<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_bottom_line\"><\/span><span id=\"The_bottom_line\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><span id=\"The_bottom_line\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>The bottom line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Specify one concealed shower set SKU for the whole property, not one per room type.
