Oxygenics 51488 Hand Shower Head 1.8 Gpm Brushed Nickel

Product Description

The OXYGENICS 51488 is a 5-inch hand shower head designed for residential bathroom installations where water efficiency and spray versatility are priorities. Rated at 1.8 gallons per minute (GPM), it carries WaterSense certification, meeting EPA water-efficiency standards without sacrificing performance. The unit ships in a brushed nickel finish and offers 10 selectable spray patterns, giving end users a range of options from concentrated rinse to wide coverage. Plumbers and finish contractors installing this fixture will find it suited for standard hand shower hose connections in tub and shower enclosures.

The 51488 is intended for residential bathroom applications where a handheld shower configuration is specified. Its WaterSense rating makes it a compliant choice in jurisdictions that mandate low-flow fixtures under local plumbing codes. The brushed nickel finish coordinates with common fixture trim lines. At 1.8 GPM, it falls below the 2.0 GPM threshold required by many state and municipal low-flow ordinances, making it a straightforward specification for green-build or water-restricted projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or finish contractor. Shut off water supply to the shower before removing any existing hand shower head. Use thread seal tape on all threaded connections to prevent leaks and follow local plumbing code requirements, including applicable sections of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for fixture installation. Do not overtighten the connection to the hand shower hose to avoid damaging the fitting.
