Minimalist MK2

Introducing the Methven Minimalist MK2 Collection.

The new Methven Minimalist MK2 collection features showers, mixers for the bathroom, kitchen and laundry, pop-up wastes, and now includes: VJet™ showering technology – The user can seamlessly transition from an invigorating shower spray through to a gentle mist, and everything in-between. VJet™ is suitable for mains pressure above 150kpa. Easy-switch universal in-wall bodies – Allows for ease of installation, and the ability to refresh the design without changing the plumbing.

The precision engineered jet in the Fastflow II shower mixer uses a venturi system to draw the hot water through at an increased rate. The hot waterway flows around the outside of the jet, while the cold waterway flows through the inside of the jet.

The Methven easy-switch universal in-wall bodies are all WaterMark certified. The standard shower mixer and wall mount basin/bath mixer in-wall bodies have male connections, while the separate diverter mixer has female connections. The Fastflow II shower mixer harnesses the high pressure of cold water to increase the pressure of hot water. This increases the flow through the mixer and results in a better shower experience on unequal pressure. Select the appropriate primary nozzle to suit the pressure of the hot water system:

Mains pressure – no primary jet (as supplied)

Header tank (17-25kPa) – black

Single storey 26-50kPa) – green

Two storey (50-90kPa) – yellow

Heavy head (90-130kPa) – red

Note, the colours are the same shades as used in the matching Nefa pressure reducing valve. Leave the large black secondary jet installed for all applications.

Fastflow II is easy to install and maintain, with easy access to the cartridge and nozzles through front of wall, even after linings are installed.

Fastflow II has an updated mounting bracket that allows the mixer to be installed in cavities to a 50mm depth, and can be fixed in front, or on top, of a fixing support. For thin wall linings (eg, acrylic liners), align the front edge of the spacer on the bracket to the horizontal support. For thicker wall linings (eg, tiles), align the front edge of the bracket to the horizontal support.

The Minimalist MK2 Fastflow shower mixer is suitable for use in installations with wall lining from 2mm to 30mm thickness.

Fastflow II allows for static leak testing up to 1,500kPa.

Committed to conserving water for generations to come, the Methven Minimalist MK collection features lower flow rated products including 4-star overhead showers and 6-star tapware.

The collection is available in chrome, black and PVD brushed nickel and is designed and engineered in New Zealand and backed by Methven’s industry leading warranty—a lifetime warranty on showers, and 20 years on tapware.
