Hansgrohe Joleena Transitional 1-Handle 7-Inch Wide Pressure Balance Shower Valve Trim in Polished Nickel (Model 04779830) - Perfect for Bathroom Renovation & Modern Home Upgrade

I’ve done several bathroom remodels in my homes and rental properties, and I have a strong preference for Hansgrohe as a brand. They have consistently shown good quality and their design approach aligns with my personal taste. I selected the Joleena trim mainly for its sleek appearance. In this case, I selected part number 04779000 for temperature and pressure control, with the tub spout controlling water diversion. We bought the rough-in valve separately, as recommended. The valve trim itself is gorgeous, completely metal with a rubberized gasket between the handle and the faceplate. No screws in site. It is a seamless integration against the tiling. When my guy did the installation initially, he set it so the handle range only reached a mildly hot temperature - not acceptable for my heat-seeking hunny bunny. So, he came back and adjusted with the rough-in and we are now in a steamy shower situation. I’ve had Moen fixtures where the handle is somewhat loose on the faceplate, and the resolution you get by turning on the handle is less than ideal. This Joleena set has very fine control, and the handle has nice resistance against the gasket that sits between it and the faceplate. Hence, it has such a high-quality feel, smooth and responsive. The rough-in is so exemplary of German design, and the tub spout is equally sleek. I’m overly satisfied and once again am happy to be a loyal Hansgrohe customer.
