Sonoma Forge Streamlines the WaterBridge Tub Filler with Hand Shower Option, Improving Form and Function

New single diverter valve creates a sleeker, more elegant look when paired with Hand Shower accessory

(Petaluma, CA, July 10, 2018) Always with an eye on progress, Sonoma Forge introduces a new generation of Tub Fillers with Hand Shower option. At the heart of the new design is a single diverter, which replaces two shut-offs (one for tub filler and one for hand shower) used with the previous offering. The new single-valve design not only improves function when adding a Hand Shower accessory into the mix, but it also reduces bulk making it a more elegant and pleasing design. Plus, the new design reflects the popular WaterBridge collection’s artful interpretation of raw plumbing parts for a truly industrial chic look.

“Multi-purpose Hand Showers have evolved into an integral part of any Tub Filler system, but with some designs, multiple diverter valves can feel bulky and cumbersome. By replacing the tub filler and hand shower shut offs with one single diverter, we’re able to create an option with a more streamlined look and more fluid operation,” says Sonoma Forge president, Erik Ambjor. Repositioning the hand shower cradle also helped to create a more compact design. Instead of the traditional telephone hand shower cradle commonly used in the past, the new and improved Tub Filler models feature a Hand Shower bracket that clamps onto the leg.

In addition to Deck, Floor, and Wall Mounted Tub Fillers with Hand Shower in a variety of heights, homeowners can choose between cross or lever handles as well as between a split bamboo Waterfall Spout or Elbow Spout to make their own personal statement. Along with Wall Mounted Tub Fillers, the WaterBridge collection includes a line-up of Lavatory Faucets, Bar Faucets, Exposed Shower Systems, and coordinated accessories.  All elements mirror the simple, yet strong style of WaterBridge.

Pricing for the WaterBridge Floor Mounted Tub Filler with Hand Shower starts at $4,600. Available finishes include Rustic Nickel, Rustic Copper, Satin Nickel, and Oil-Rubbed Bronze as well as an array of special order options. And like all Sonoma Forge designer faucets and fixtures, the WaterBridge Exposed Shower Systems are made in America.
