KODAEN F54123-W10AZ MADISON Two Way Pressure Balanced Shower System – Kit 1

Every Canadian homeowner knows the shock of a sudden temperature change mid-shower. Someone flushes a toilet, and suddenly the water turns scalding hot or freezing cold. The KODAEN MADISON two way pressure balanced shower system eliminates this problem completely.

The pressure balanced valve inside this system monitors hot and cold water pressure continuously. When pressure fluctuates, the valve adjusts the water mix instantly to maintain your set temperature. The result is consistent, comfortable showers regardless of what happens elsewhere in the house. This anti-scald protection is particularly valuable for Canadian families with children or elderly residents.

Everything You Need in One Box

The MADISON system arrives as a complete kit with everything needed for installation. The package includes the pressure balanced rough-in valve, trim plate with lever handle, 10-inch square rain shower head, 16-inch wall mount shower arm, sliding bar with hose, a 3-function handheld shower, square elbow connector, and fixed hand shower holder.

This all-in-one approach eliminates the frustration of hunting for compatible components. Contractors appreciate the straightforward installation, while DIY renovators find the system manageable with basic plumbing skills. The included rough-in valve simplifies the process, reducing installation time compared to sourcing components separately.

Two Outlets, Endless Possibilities

The system offers two distinct water outlets. The 10-inch square rain shower head provides wide coverage for full-body immersion. The handheld shower adds flexibility for targeted rinsing, cleaning, or bathing children and pets.

Switching between functions is seamless through the integrated 2-way diverter. The lever handle controls ON/OFF and temperature, while the top knob rotates to switch functions. This intuitive design makes operation simple for all household members.

Three Ways to Spray

The included handheld shower offers three spray functions for versatile use. Users can choose between different spray patterns depending on their needs. The sliding bar allows height adjustment for users of different statures, making the system practical for households with multiple users.

What is a pressure balanced shower system? 
A pressure balanced system uses a valve that monitors hot and cold water pressure. When pressure fluctuates, such as when a toilet is flushed, the valve adjusts the water mix to maintain consistent temperature. This prevents sudden hot or cold surprises and provides anti-scald protection.

What is included in this shower kit? 
The kit includes the pressure balanced rough-in valve, trim plate with lever handle, 10-inch square rain shower head, 16-inch wall mount shower arm, sliding bar with hose, 3-function handheld shower, square elbow connector, and fixed hand shower holder. Everything needed for installation is provided.

What is the difference between pressure balanced and thermostatic valves? 
Pressure balanced valves react to changes in water pressure. Thermostatic valves respond directly to water temperature changes using a thermal element. Pressure balanced systems are more affordable and effective for most residential applications. Thermostatic systems offer more precise temperature control but cost more.

What finishes are available? 
Available finishes include Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Brushed Gold, and Graphite Black. Each finish is designed to resist tarnishing and maintain its appearance over years of use.

Is this system certified for Canadian homes? 
Yes. The system holds cUPC certification, meeting ASME A112.18.1 and CSA B125.1 standards for Canadian residential plumbing.

What is the flow rate? 
The system delivers approximately 21 L/min (5.5 gpm) at 60psi through the pressure balanced valve. Actual flow may vary based on your home’s water pressure and plumbing configuration.

How do I install this shower system? 
The rough-in valve installs in the wall at the appropriate height. Water supply lines connect to the valve inlets. Outlet lines connect to the rain shower head and handheld. Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance.
