Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I thought Hansgrohe had quality products all around. Did not do research on a simple wall elbow/union as I would have assumed a high quality product from Hansgrohe.
Ordered this product along with over half a dozezn other Hansgrohe shower parts and this Axor Starck X Wall Outlet is an embarrassment to Hansgrohe.
The entire cover is just chrome plated plastic. It snaps over a black plastic base which surrounds the 1/2" elbow (the only brass part of the entire assembly). Basically this thing is hollow... another hiding place for mold and mildew to accumulate from daily use in a shower. There is no seal between the hole on the bottom of the cover and the threaded coupling from the shower hose.
Not everyone has a water softener or time/money to have their shower cleaned everyday. The Hansgrohe fine print basically says to clean this every day to avoid soap or hard water buildup. That is only because if you wait any longer, there will be no way to clean that plastic cover without somehow damaging its flimsy surface by having to use a bit more aggressive cleaning (which wouldn't be an issue if this was a chrome plated solid brass union in same shape as the cover).
I do NOT plan to install this product and will now have to search for a better quality product before the remodeling job starts. I hope my review saves someone the trouble, time and money from buying this product.
