Whale built-in hot/cold shower without cover – code: 17.031.06 – Osculati

Whale recessed hot/cold shower without cover (Osculati 17.031.06)

La Whale recessed hot/cold shower without cover (supplier code 17.031.06, distribution Whale 3/8" BSP male adapter) is a solution designed for installations where you want to integrate the shower neatly and functionally, maintaining a clean wall appearance and compact size. The recessed configuration is particularly appreciated in nautical environments and onboard systems when space optimization and protection of the shower area from accidental impacts or protruding elements are desired.

This version is without cover: a useful choice when the cover is not necessary, when immediate access to the showerhead is preferred, or when protection is already guaranteed by the mounting position (for example in technical compartments, service areas, or external showers where the user controls opening/closing via other equipment elements).

Main features and details

Recessed installation

The shower body is designed to be recessed into a dedicated seat, leaving only the necessary functional part visible. This approach helps keep the area tidier and facilitates integration with paneling, technical compartment walls, or service surfaces typical of boats.

Hot and cold water management

The shower is prepared for use with hot and cold water, allowing temperature control according to the onboard system's needs. This is a common configuration when the boat has a hot water circuit and a more versatile service shower is desired.

Version without cover

The absence of the cover can be advantageous in contexts where:

• you want to quick access to the shower without having to open doors or covers;
• the shower is located in an already protected or sheltered area;
• a minimal solution with fewer external components is preferred.

During the design phase of the installation, it is advisable to evaluate the mounting position to reduce direct exposure to splashes, impacts, or dirt accumulation, especially in marine environments.

Typical applications in the nautical field

This recessed shower is suitable for various onboard needs, particularly where practicality and order in installation are required. Some common uses include:

• Service showers in the cockpit or in external areas dedicated to rinsing;
• Technical areas or washing compartments, where it is useful to have an integrated shower water point;
• Equipment rinsing (for example after use at sea), when a convenient and always ready shower point is desired;
• Onboard systems that require a neat wall-mounted solution, with non-protruding components.

The choice of the hot/cold version is particularly consistent with boats equipped with a hot water system, so that the shower can also be used in conditions where a more comfortable temperature is preferred.

Usage and operational notes

General installation guidelines

In the absence of further technical specifications, installation by competent personnel is recommended, with particular attention to:

• positioning in an area that allows comfortable use and reduces exposure to impacts;
• accessibility for any inspections or maintenance of the system;
• proper management of lines hot and cold water, so as to maintain an orderly and easily inspectable connection.

Good practices for use in marine environments

For typical use in boating, some practical precautions can help keep the area cleaner and more functional:

• rinse the area after use when the shower is exposed to saltwater;
• avoid sand or debris accumulation in the usage area;
• periodically check the general condition of the connected water system (pipes, fittings, and seals), especially in case of refitting.

Note on the version without a cover

If the shower is installed in a very exposed location, consider during the design phase whether the absence of the cover is consistent with the intended use. In some setups, protection can be delegated to doors, compartments, or existing carpentry solutions.
