Abstract

A shower handset (1) has a plurality of spray nozzles (28) arranged in concentric arrays (28). The innermost and outermost arrays of nozzles (28a, 28b and 28c, 28d) are permanently open. The intermediate arrays of nozzles (28e, 28f) are of increased axial length providing integral valve seats at the inner ends. A valve plate (16) is axially movable in response to rotation of a manually operable control member (17) to co-operate with the valve seats to close one or both intermediate arrays of nozzles (28e, 28f) to control the water flow through the handset (1). In an alternative arrangement (Figures 6 and 7), each intermediate array of nozzles (28e, 28f) has a common valve seat.
