Technical Details for Your Outdoor Shower Tower
Outdoor Shower Column Information
- Constructed of high-grade polymer. Tough, non-porous plastic won’t rust or corrode.
- Periodic cleaning maintains a brand new look for years and years.
- Multi-layered construction consists of a polymer plumbing sleeve, approximately 9” inside diameter, is inserted inside the molded, colored, exterior shell with a foam filler injected between the two pieces.
- Dimensions as diagramed.
- flat plumbing fixture panels, hexagonal in shape, occur at 26” height for foot wash and hose bib placement, 50” height for control valve placement, and near the top at 73” height for shower nozzle placement.
- Round portions of the column are rough textured to discourage carving and engraving.
- Anchor hole areas are recessed below the top of the mounting flange to help keep mounting hardware away from bare feet.
- Impact resistant to minus 40 degrees F.
- UV stabilized, molded in colors won’t fade.
- Colors molded through the entire shell. Nicks and scratches don’t show when they occur. Undesirable cuts, engraving, etc., can be heat blended away with careful use of butane torch.
- To remove mineral deposits, calcium buildup, dirt, etc., use Limeaway or other household cleansers with a non-abrasive brush or pad. Extend the life of the tower and keep it sparkling, by periodically applying a non-petroleum based oil such as lemon oil.
