Oatey K742CP Handheld Shower Kit 3 Function 1.8 Gpm

Product Description

The OATEY K742CP is a three-function handheld shower kit designed for residential bathroom installations. The showerhead features a 3.15-inch round face and delivers a maximum flow rate of 1.8 gallons per minute, making it compatible with low-flow plumbing requirements. The chrome finish provides a corrosion-resistant surface suited to wet environments. The kit ships complete with a 60-inch flexible hose, giving plumbers a ready-to-install assembly with the components needed for a standard retrofit or new-construction handheld shower installation.

This kit is suited for residential bathroom applications where a handheld shower is being added to an existing shower arm or installed on a slide bar. The 60-inch hose length accommodates most standard tub and shower configurations. The three spray functions allow the end user to select from multiple spray patterns without additional hardware. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers familiar with supply-side plumbing connections typically handle this installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced tradesperson familiar with residential water supply connections. Shut off the water supply to the shower before beginning work. Hand-tighten the hose connections first, then snug with pliers using a cloth to protect the chrome finish - do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting. Local plumbing codes under the IPC may apply regarding flow rate and fixture requirements.
