Grohe - that says it all

The "old" fitting was from the hardware store, less than 5 years old - but the traction device for the opening and closing of the drain valve was just annoying, hakelig and stiff. This by no means decisive cheaper than the Grohe battery.

The Grohe battery does make a solid impression when they are unpacked, mounted quickly, fits comfortably in your hand, works just fine - and looks surprisingly good, much more stylish from the pictures.

The assembly is no mystery to - 2 things one should consider when you have never exchanged a fitting: for sealing the drain valve plumbing putty is required (eg Plastic Fermit) - so secure previously or in your order at Amazon. And: After the provisional adjustment of the linkage for raising and lowering the end closure, the two operating rods have to be shortened - a sharp Puksäge or a hacksaw should therefore also be in the toolbox.

Next time I buy a Grohe same battery ...
