Abstract

A bath shower mixer (1) has inlets (7, 8) for hot and cold water, a bath fill outlet (6), a shower outlet (4), a rotatable control knob (12) for manual selection of the output water temperature and a control lever (13) for controlling flow of the output water to a selected one of the bath fill outlet (6) and shower outlet (4). The control lever (13) sets the maximum output water temperature selectable by the control knob (12) on selection of the outlet to provide a maximum output water temperature that is lower for showering than for bath filling.
