For the whole unit,

Manufacturer, Reich 
Part number, 574-971000R

We just bought one in the UK which was special order through a motorhome (camping car) Reich dealer. Price ~£180 (210€, $240) and took ~2-weeks. 


We had leak plus the chrome finish had deteriorated badly in our forward head.

Thanks Ian - that's great - however from memory the connection to the water system is that printeo push fit system (addly the showers do seem to have 1/2" BSP so easy to change)  so it's very hard to swap out - hence why i am thinking of replacing the whole water systems with JG/Whale 15mm

Hi Duncan,

Must admit to not having looked at the how this tap is plumbed in but hoping if there is a Prineto fitting, I can cut red/blue hoses near the fitting then slide over the new tap hose barbs ... but I'll not be back at the boat for another five weeks so we'll find out then.

I can see why you'd want to change this pipe system out. Be interested to hear how you get on.

Cheers.
