Abstract

A shower arrangement is proposed which comprises a sanitary fitting designed as a concealed fitting. On the front side of the sanitary fitting is arranged a cover rose. The cover rose has a lateral stub which projects forwardly beyond the front side of the cover rose and is oriented vertically. On the upper side of this stub is mounted a water-conveying wall bar which leads rectilinearly upwards and on whose upper end is mounted an overhead shower head. On the opposite end of the stub is connected a shower hose. The cover rose can be mounted with the stub oriented either on the right or left.
