The 316 Outdoor Showers Altura in PVD Black is a wall-mounted outdoor shower built from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, featuring a pressure balance valve, a two-way diverter, and a handheld showerhead. It mounts permanently to any wall or outdoor structure and is the most accessible entry point into the wall-mounted 316 collection — delivering the same marine-grade material quality and pressure-balanced valve performance as the Summit, in a handheld-focused configuration without the overhead rain showerhead. Ideal for pool areas, covered patios, and coastal installations where wall mounting is preferred and handheld flexibility is the priority.

Product Highlights
Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel
The Altura is built from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, which resists corrosion in salt air, coastal, and poolside environments where standard stainless fails.
Handheld-Focused, Wall-Mounted Design
The Altura mounts permanently to any wall or outdoor structure for a clean installation, with a handheld showerhead for flexible, targeted rinsing. It is a handheld-focused configuration without the overhead rain showerhead of the Summit.
Pressure Balance Valve
The pressure balance valve keeps water temperature consistent even when other fixtures are in use elsewhere in the home.
Two-Way Diverter
The two-way diverter directs water flow between outlets as needed, so you control where the water goes.
PVD Black Finish
This Altura comes in a PVD Black finish — a bold, contemporary look that pairs naturally with dark tile, modern outdoor kitchens, and black fixture sets.

Important Information
Professional installation is required. Plumbing connection should be completed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local codes.
Wall mounting requires a structurally sound surface capable of supporting the fixture and water pressure loads. Confirm mounting requirements before installation.
Although 316 stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, periodic rinsing after exposure to salt water or pool chemicals will extend the fixture's lifespan and maintain appearance.
Contact us before ordering if you have specific questions about rough-in dimensions, wall backing requirements, or plumbing compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Altura and the Summit?
Both the Altura and Summit are wall-mounted 316 stainless outdoor showers with a pressure balance valve and two-way diverter. The Summit adds a fixed rain showerhead alongside the handheld for overhead coverage. The Altura includes the handheld only — no rain head. Choose the Altura if handheld flexibility is your priority and overhead rain coverage is not needed. Choose the Summit if you want both rain head and handheld in a wall-mounted fixture.
Why is 316 stainless steel better for outdoor showers than standard stainless?
Standard stainless steel (typically 304 grade) can rust and pit when exposed to salt air, chlorine, and pool chemicals over time. 316 grade adds molybdenum to the alloy, significantly improving corrosion resistance in coastal and poolside environments. For any outdoor shower near the ocean or a pool, 316 is the correct specification — not an upgrade, a necessity.
Does the Altura require special wall backing for installation?
Yes. Like any wall-mounted plumbing fixture, the Altura should be mounted to a structurally sound surface with appropriate backing. A licensed plumber should assess your wall construction and confirm mounting requirements before installation. Contact us if you have specific questions about your installation situation.
What does the pressure balance valve do?
A pressure balance valve maintains a consistent ratio of hot to cold water even when pressure fluctuates elsewhere in the home — for example, when a toilet is flushed or another tap is opened. This prevents sudden temperature swings during use and is a standard safety feature in quality shower valves.
What maintenance does the Altura require?
316 stainless is low-maintenance. Rinse with fresh water periodically after heavy exposure to salt or pool chemicals, and wipe occasionally with a mild stainless cleaner to maintain the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
The Altura in PVD Black is wall-mounted 316 marine-grade quality in a handheld-focused configuration — pressure-balanced, corrosion-resistant, and built to last in the harshest outdoor environments. If you have the wall and want the handheld, the Altura delivers.
