Want to know how the COCOON Shower Set Therm/Diverter System Works?

Specialty Hardware + Plumbing is the premier COCOON dealer in the U.S. and can help walk you through the selection process of ordering a COCOON thermostatic shower, in either the John Pawson or Piet Boon Collection.

Our expertise with the COCOON brand helps our clients choose the correct shower set-up with appropriate rough-in valves to meet U.S. plumbing codes and guidelines in certain states.  With showroom locations in California, we have experience with the strictest plumbing codes to pass building inspections.

Although COCOON is a European company, with manufacturing locations in Italy and the Netherlands, they offer U.S. shower set-ups and adapters to serve clients throughout the globe.

Why does the U.S. require Thermostatic Valves?

Anti-scald valves are used on plumbing systems to avoid hot water burns.  These valves (also known as mixing valves) mix cold water with the outgoing hot water to manually make sure the person using the water won’t be scalded. Thermostatic valves have two handles (COCOON will reference all shower and bath sets as THERM). One handle controls the volume (and diverters from shower head to hand shower) and the other handle controls the water temperature.  The advantage of thermostatic valves (other than the obvious of passing a building inspection and protecting from burns) is direct control of water temperature output – with a maximum temperature being at 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

COCOON Shower Sets:

Award-winning and world renowned architects, John Pawson and Piet Boon, designed a complete range of bathroom collections for COCOON, including shower sets with varying options and finish choices.

John Pawson for COCOON:

The John Pawson shower collection includes:

• JP SET22THERM – thermostatic shower fixtures

This thermostatic shower system includes a JP rain shower, either as a ceiling shower or wall-mount rain head. You can also choose to create this set with a stick hand shower or the round hand shower.

The mixers are thermostatic, with a 2-way diverter between the hand shower and rain head.

The handle to the far left (has a small button on the back) is thermostatic and sets a fixed temperature.

The handle to the right is the diverter and volume control.  Handle sitting in the down position, it’s neutral and the shower is off.  Move it to the right, this is the volume control to the first function – hand shower.  When it’s all the way to the right, the hand shower is in full use.  Turn the handle to the left, this is volume control to the second function rain shower, when at left the showerhead is at full use.

The JP SET25THERM and JPSET24THERM work the same way, with the left handle setting temperature and the right handle being the diverter between the hand shower and bathtub filler.
