Scandvik Shower/Faucet Mixers
Marine-Engineered Shower and Faucet Mixers from Scandvik
When you're outfitting a boat's galley or head with reliable plumbing fixtures, Scandvik delivers shower and faucet mixers specifically engineered for the demanding marine environment. Unlike household fixtures that can corrode or fail under constant exposure to moisture and movement, Scandvik's shower/faucet mixers combine durable materials with thoughtful design features that address the unique challenges of onboard water systems.
Built for the Marine Environment
Scandvik constructs their mixer fixtures with chrome-plated brass bodies, a material choice that resists the corrosive effects of saltwater and marine humidity far better than standard residential fixtures. The chrome plating not only provides an attractive, easy-to-clean finish but adds an extra layer of protection against the harsh marine environment. These mixers are designed to maintain their functionality and appearance through years of exposure to the conditions that would quickly degrade lesser fixtures.
Innovative Safety and Convenience Features
What sets Scandvik apart in the marine plumbing category is their attention to real-world boating scenarios. Their combination pull-out shower/faucet mixers feature an inward opening valve handle designed to prevent accidental opening in rough conditions while underway—a critical safety feature when you're navigating choppy waters and don't want your freshwater tank draining unexpectedly. The single-lever design combines faucet and shower functionality in one compact unit, maximizing utility in the tight spaces typical of marine heads and galleys.
Versatile Installation Options
Scandvik's shower/faucet mixer lineup accommodates various installation requirements found aboard different vessels. Their fixtures come with flexible supply lines and standard threading options including 1/2" NPS-F connections and adaptable BSP threaded configurations, making retrofitting or new installations straightforward for marine technicians and experienced boat owners alike. The minimalistic design aesthetic complements both modern yacht interiors and classic boat styling, while the compact footprint makes these mixers ideal for space-constrained marine applications.
Whether you're upgrading an aging galley sink or installing a complete head renovation, Scandvik's shower and faucet mixers represent a proven solution that balances durability, functionality, and marine-specific design intelligence. Their fixtures are engineered to deliver reliable hot and cold water mixing performance season after season, making them a smart investment for serious cruisers and liveaboards who demand equipment that won't let them down when they're far from shore.
