For decades, the “Multiplex” and “Multiplex Trio” fittings from Viega have been setting standards in technology and design when it comes to the filling and drainage of bathtubs. Now, the manufacturer has significantly simplified the range and improved it again in terms of technology. There is now only one particularly flat functional unit for all bathtub fittings. Equipped either with or without an inlet function, the “Multiplex” or “Multiplex Trio” functional unit is ideal for installation in bathtubs with narrow rims. The equipment set designs have also been simplified. The new complete fittings sets are now supplied with the designer “Visign M5” equipment set for the Multiplex and “Visign MT5” for the Multiplex Trio.
By simplifying the functional units of the Multiplex tub fittings with a smaller installation depth of just 33 mm, specialist shops and the trade need less stock and storage space. At the same time, the fitter can react more quickly and flexibly to customer requirements, as the fittings can now be used for virtually any tub type, even those with narrow rims. Further technical optimisations concern the new flexible overflow pipe - which adjusts easily to the contours of the tub - and the improved anti-kink mechanism of the Bowden wires. With the “Multiplex Trio”, the angle of the water jet can also be individually adjusted.
Well-designed rotating collars for actuation
In line with customer requirements, Viega is now offering the “Multiplex” and “Multiplex Trio” complete fittings sets as standard with the “Visign M5” or “Visign MT5” rotating collars. The “Visign M3” and “Visign MT3” equipment sets with narrow bases can also be used for the “Multiplex” and “Multiplex Trio” functional units. The new functional units fulfil particular comfort requirements when combined with the “Multiplex Visign M9” or “Multiplex Trio Visign MT9” actuation fittings: By lightly pressing this rotating collar, the water level in the tub can be increased by five centimetres “above normal”.
Viega is also adapting the Rotaplex fittings for bathtubs with 90 mm drain holes to fit the Multiplex range in terms of equipment and design.
