Brizo 88706 Kintsu® Multifunction Slide Bar Handshower

The Spray Setting That Changes Hair Washing

Most handshowers offer a full spray. It covers your body. It rinses soap. But it does not target the scalp where shampoo and conditioner actually sit. The Brizo Kintsu 88706 adds a Shampoo Spray setting. The spray concentrates pressure on a smaller area. It reaches through hair to the scalp. It rinses product faster. It feels like a scalp massage. You use less water because you finish rinsing sooner.

Then there is the Full Spray. It covers your shoulders and back. It rinses soap from your body. It feels soft and enveloping. The Kintsu lets you combine both settings. Full + Shampoo Spray gives you coverage and power at the same time. The fourth setting is Pause. It reduces flow to a trickle while you lather or shave. The temperature stays where you set it. You do not lose your adjustment.

The Slide Bar That Moves With One Hand

A slide bar holds the handshower. It lets you adjust the height. The Kintsu slide bar measures 32 7/16 inches. It includes an integrated waterway connection. That means the water flows through the bar itself. The installation is simplified. No extra hoses running behind the wall.

The pivoting handshower mount glides up and down. You move it with one hand. No buttons. No levers. No locking mechanisms. The mount pivots so you can angle the spray where you need it. The finished spray face also pivots up and down. You aim the water without adjusting the whole handshower.

The Four Spray Settings Explained

The Kintsu handshower has four settings. You switch between them with a push-button selector. The button is ADA compliant. It is easy to press. It does not require fine motor control.

Shampoo Spray: Focused pressure for rinsing hair and scalp.

Full Spray: Wide coverage for rinsing the body.

Full + Shampoo Spray: Combines both for coverage and targeted power.

Pause: Reduces flow to a trickle while you lather or shave.

The settings cover every part of your shower routine. You do not need a separate scalp massager. You do not need a second showerhead. The Kintsu does it all.

The Hose That Reaches Further

The Kintsu includes a stretchable finished metal hose. It extends from 60 to 82 inches. The hose reaches across a large shower. It lets you bathe a child. It lets you clean the shower walls. It lets you wash a pet without pulling the handshower tight. The metal finish matches the handshower. The hose resists kinking and twisting. It retracts smoothly when you release it.

What Installation Requires

The Kintsu slide bar handshower installs on the wall. The slide bar mounts with the included hardware. The integrated waterway connection simplifies the plumbing. The handshower connects to the hose. The hose connects to the wall supply elbow. A licensed plumber familiar with Canadian code should handle the rough-in and water connections. The finish and handshower installation can be completed by experienced DIYers.
