{"title":"Shower faucets center-to-center distance 12 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eDo you want to replace an existing shower tap without unnecessarily modifying the pipework? In this category, you will find shower taps for a wall connection with a 12 cm centre-to-centre distance.

At WDTegels, you can easily order online, with practical advice if you want to check your connection first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen should you choose a shower tap with a 12 cm centre-to-centre distance?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shower tap with a 12 cm centre-to-centre distance is intended for wall-mounted shower taps that need to fit existing connection points 12 cm apart. This is particularly important for replacement and renovation, for example in older bathrooms where 15 cm will not fit without modification. The centre-to-centre distance only indicates the mounting width; only then should you look at the type of tap, such as thermostatic shower taps, the controls and additional functions.

If you then choose a suitable 12 cm model, you can often avoid unnecessary alterations to the pipework. Also always check the connection, thread size, and mounting method for a good match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the standard center-to-center distance of a shower faucet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor shower faucets, 15 cm is generally considered the standard size. However, 12 cm still occurs, especially in existing or older installations. Therefore, do not rely solely on the standard size; always measure the current connection yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace a 12 cm shower faucet with a 15 cm one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is sometimes possible with eccentric connectors or by modifying the connection. Whether this can be done neatly depends on the pipework, the position in the wall, and the desired finish. Check this before purchasing to avoid additional installation problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the center-to-center distance of a Grohe shower faucet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrohe does not have one fixed center-to-center distance for all shower faucets; it varies by series and product. The quickest way to check the correct measurement is in the technical specifications, dimension drawing, or by measuring the existing faucet. 12 cm and 15 cm can also occur with branded models, depending on the design and connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a 12 cm center-to-center distance also apply to other wall-mounted faucets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the center-to-center distance is relevant for wall-mounted faucets in general, not just shower faucets. Other types of faucets, such as certain bath or wall-mounted faucets, often have a different mounting method or product design. Therefore, always check per category and product specification whether the dimensions are actually suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eView the range and choose the shower faucet that fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you measured the center-to-center distance yet? Then filter the models by type, finish, price, and desired features, and immediately select the shower faucet with a 12 cm center-to-center distance that fits your connection.
