Oatey K745BN 5-function Handheld Shower Kit

Product Description

The OATEY K745BN is a 5-function handheld shower kit designed for residential bathroom applications. The kit delivers five selectable spray patterns through a handheld showerhead, giving installers a versatile, all-in-one solution for shower upgrades and new construction. The brushed nickel finish is consistent with the BN designation in the part number. Sold as a complete kit, it is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced fixture installers during bathroom remodels, tub-to-shower conversions, or accessibility-focused shower retrofits where a slide bar mount improves usability.

This kit is suited for residential shower installations where a handheld unit on a slide bar is preferred over a fixed showerhead. Common applications include accessible bath upgrades, senior or ADA-consideration retrofits, and standard tub-shower combos. The slide bar allows height adjustment for users of varying stature, and the flexible hose provides reach for rinsing and bathing assistance. Installation falls within standard rough-in plumbing scope and does not require special tools beyond basic hand tools and plumber tape.

Installation Notes

Use plumber tape on all threaded connections to ensure a leak-free seal. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines, for fixture installation and water pressure compliance.
