Hans Grohe iBox universal Planning And Installation page 4

Concealed – the attractive way to fit a mixer
With the iBox universal, the mixer technology is concealed in the wall. This not only
looks good, but also creates more space and so adds to the shower pleasure. Another
feature is the flexibility of the design and system. The iBox universal can be installed
before a shower system is chosen. As the basic set for any Hansgrohe concealed
solution, it can be changed and upgraded at any time.
Surface-mounted installation
With a surface-mounted installation, the function unit is entirely in front
of the wall ‒ i.e. on the plaster. The disadvantage is that it takes up more
space, which reduces the freedom of movement when showering.

Concealed installation
With concealed installation, the base unit is housed within the wall, i.e.
behind the plaster. Mixers and shower finish sets from various Hansgrohe
and Axor ranges can be fitted to it.
