Product Description
Jaquar Concealed Body for Single Lever Diverter is the in-wall valve mechanism that forms the functional core of a concealed single lever shower diverter system. Available in two variants — Normal Flow (ALD-CHR-065M, 29.72 LPM @ 3 bar) and High Flow (ALD-CHR-079N, 48.94 LPM @ 3 bar) — the concealed body is installed inside the wall cavity during rough plumbing stage, before tiling and wall finishing, and is subsequently fitted with a separately purchased exposed parts kit that forms the visible trim on the finished wall. The kit includes the concealed body, button assembly for diverter control, and cartridge sleeve — but not the exposed parts kit, which is selected independently to match the bathroom's design series.
The concealed body uses a precision ceramic cartridge — 40mm for the Normal Flow variant and 47mm for the High Flow — providing smooth, reliable temperature and flow control with long-term leak resistance. Ceramic cartridges significantly outlast rubber washer valves and maintain consistent operation across thousands of cycles without degradation. The Normal Flow variant suits standard residential single-head shower installations and apartments; the High Flow variant is designed for luxury multi-head shower systems, spa showers, and hotel bathrooms where higher volume throughput is required. Both variants are compatible with the full range of Jaquar single lever diverter exposed parts kits, giving complete design flexibility in finish and aesthetic series selection.
Key Features
- Two Flow Variants — Normal & High Flow: Choose 29.72 LPM for standard residential showers or 48.94 LPM for luxury multi-head systems — flow rate matched to the complexity and volume demand of the shower installation.
- Precision Ceramic Cartridge: 40mm (Normal) and 47mm (High Flow) ceramic disc cartridges provide smooth, precise flow and temperature control with long service life and minimal maintenance compared to rubber washer alternatives.
- Clean Concealed In-Wall Installation: The entire valve mechanism is hidden behind the wall surface — only the exposed parts kit is visible on the finished wall, creating a minimal, uncluttered bathroom aesthetic.
- Button Assembly Included: Integrated diverter button mechanism for switching water flow between shower outlets is included in the kit — provides precise, tactile diverter control.
- Universal Exposed Parts Compatibility: Works with all Jaquar single lever diverter exposed parts kits — allows the bathroom design series (Florentine, Continental, Allied, etc.) to be selected independently of the concealed body.

Installation Guidelines
Step-by-Step Installation
- Plan the wall cavity position during rough plumbing stage — determine the correct height and alignment for the concealed body before any wall construction begins.
- Mount the concealed body securely within the wall cavity, connecting hot and cold supply lines with appropriate sealing at all joints.
- Pressure test the system to 8 bar to verify leak-free operation at all connections before closing the wall.
- Install the ceramic cartridge with correct orientation and sealing within the cartridge sleeve.
- Set up the button assembly for diverter control and test switching operation between outlets.
- Complete wall construction (tiling, plastering) around the concealed body, ensuring the front access point remains unobstructed for future maintenance and exposed parts installation.
- After wall finishing is complete, fit the chosen Jaquar exposed parts kit over the concealed body for the final visible trim installation.
Recommended Applications
Where the Jaquar Concealed Diverter Body fits best
- Luxury Residential Bathrooms: High Flow variant supports multi-head shower systems with overhead rain showers, body jets, and handheld heads operating simultaneously — concealed installation delivers the clean, wall-flush aesthetic expected in premium master bathrooms.
- Urban Apartments: Normal Flow variant suits standard single-head shower installations — space-efficient concealed design maximises usable bathroom area versus surface-mounted diverter alternatives.
- Hotel & Resort Bathrooms: High Flow variant meets the volume and reliability demands of guest bathroom shower systems with consistent performance through heavy daily use cycles.
- Spa & Wellness Facilities: High Flow ceramic cartridge technology handles continuous high-volume operation in spa shower rooms and wellness centres with commercial-grade durability.

FAQs
1) What is a concealed body and why is it purchased separately from the exposed parts kit?
A concealed shower diverter system uses two separate components: the concealed body (the valve mechanism installed inside the wall during rough plumbing) and the exposed parts kit (the visible trim — handle, plate, and diverter button — fitted after wall tiling is complete). They are sold separately because the concealed body is installed months before the bathroom is finished, and the exposed parts kit can be selected later to match the final design series chosen for the space. This Jaquar concealed body is compatible with all Jaquar single lever diverter exposed parts kits.
2) How do I choose between the Normal Flow (ALD-CHR-065M) and High Flow (ALD-CHR-079N) variants?
Choose the Normal Flow (29.72 LPM) for standard single-head residential showers and apartments where a single overhead or handheld shower head is installed. Choose the High Flow (48.94 LPM) for luxury shower systems with multiple outlets running simultaneously — rain showers, body jets, and handheld heads — or for hotel and spa bathrooms where higher volume throughput is required. Note that the High Flow variant requires a minimum supply pressure of 1.0 bar versus 0.5 bar for Normal Flow — confirm your building's supply pressure before selecting.
3) When during construction must the concealed body be installed?
The concealed body must be installed during rough plumbing stage — before any wall plastering, waterproofing, or tiling begins. It is set into the wall cavity and connected to the hot and cold supply lines at this stage, then pressure tested before the wall is closed up. The exposed parts kit is installed last, after all wall finishing is complete. Attempting to install the concealed body after tiling requires opening the wall and is not recommended — ensure the concealed body is on-site before rough plumbing work begins.
4) Can this concealed body be serviced or the cartridge replaced without breaking tiles?
Yes — the concealed body is designed for front-access service. The ceramic cartridge can be accessed and replaced by removing the exposed parts kit from the wall surface, without cutting into tiles or opening the wall. This is one of the key long-term advantages of a quality concealed system over surface-mounted diverters. Ensure the wall finishing around the concealed body leaves the front access point fully unobstructed during construction.
5) Does this kit include the exposed parts trim, or do I need to purchase it separately?
This kit includes the concealed body, button assembly, and cartridge sleeve only — the exposed parts kit (handle, escutcheon plate, and visible trim) is not included and must be purchased separately. Jaquar offers exposed parts kits across multiple design series — Allied, Florentine, Continental, and others — all compatible with this concealed body. Select the exposed parts kit that matches your bathroom's design series and finish when completing your order.
