A rigid riser shower kit is a type of shower kit that typically consists of a fixed, vertical pipe that extends from shower valve to the showerhead.
The rigid riser shower kit typically includes a showerhead and a diverter valve that allows the user to switch between the showerhead and a handheld shower handset, if included. The showerhead may be a traditional fixed showerhead or a rain showerhead that simulates the experience of standing in the rain.

Rigid Riser Shower Kits
A rigid riser showers are a type of shower kit that consists of a fixed over head shower, also called a rain head shower, on a rigid vertical pipe. This design is in contrast to traditional flexible hoses that connect the showerhead to the water supply. Rigid riser showers are are suitable for both vintage & traditional aesthetic style bathroom and more modern bathrooms. Many modern rigid riser shower kit also consist of a handset which is fixed on the rigid riser bar which allow hand held showering as well as the over head rain shower.
Key components of a rigid riser shower typically include:
- Rigid Riser: This is the vertical pipe that connects the water supply to the showerhead. It is typically made of metal (such as brass or chrome-plated steel) and is installed securely to the floor or wall.
- Showerhead: The showerhead is attached to the top of the rigid riser and is usually fixed in place. It can come in various styles and designs, including rain showerheads or handheld showerheads.
- Controls: To turn the water on and adjust the temperature, rigid riser showers often have separate controls such as a valve or faucet. These controls can be positioned on the wall or the rigid riser itself.
- Diverter: Some rigid riser showers include a diverter, allowing you to switch between the overhead showerhead and a handheld showerhead if both are present.
Rigid riser showers are known for their durability, stability, and ability to provide a consistent water flow. They can enhance the visual appeal of a bathroom and offer a luxurious showering experience. These showers are commonly found in bathrooms with a traditional or vintage design theme and are often used in homes, hotels, and spa-like settings.
