In Quality Sanitary Ware's 1049663109937 range, the three-outlet version contains an overhead shower, hand shower and lower spout. The four-outlet version adds a spray gun and its coiled hose. This is a documented difference within this product range, not a universal definition of every “three-mode” or “four-mode” shower sold online.P07
Compare the actual outlets, not only the number
| Item in reference 1049663109937 | Three-outlet configuration | Four-outlet configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Mixer and lower spout | Included | Included |
| Overhead shower | Included | Included |
| Hand shower and shower hose | Included | Included |
| Shower riser and sliding holder | Included | Included |
| Riser wall support | Included | Included |
| Spray gun | Not in the recorded three-outlet parts list | Included |
| Coiled spray-gun hose | Not in the recorded three-outlet parts list | Included |
| Listed finish choices | Bright silver, matte black, gunmetal grey | Bright silver, matte black, gunmetal grey |
The six configurations pair each finish with either the three- or four-outlet assembly. The configuration identifier remains important even when the colour is the same.P07
This comparison answers a buying question: what extra hardware and function is being considered? It does not claim greater pressure, better water efficiency or a particular simultaneous-use capability for the larger number.
Do “outlets” and hand-shower “modes” mean the same thing?
No. An outlet describes a delivery point or component in this comparison. A hand-shower mode describes a spray choice on the hand shower. These need separate fields in an order specification.
For example, mixer combination 1050584560218 has two mixer outlets, while its hand-shower options include three-mode and five-mode labels. A five-mode hand shower does not turn that mixer into a five-outlet shower system.P11
When a listing uses the word “mode” without explanation, translate the description into an outlet list and a hand-shower function field. Ask for clarification only where the record does not provide it. This prevents a buyer from comparing a full-system outlet count with a spray-pattern count.
Which version should a wholesaler select?
Our recommended decision starts with the intended customer use and installation review, not an assumption that more outlets sell better. A range may need both versions, or the additional spray-gun assembly may be unnecessary for its target buyers.
Compare the quoted unit, supplied components, packaging and service arrangements. The extra component also needs to be identified in the parts list, photographs and repeat-order record. Where a spray-gun connection raises installation or backflow questions, have the applicable requirements reviewed for the actual location and arrangement. Inclusion in a set is not proof of suitability for every application.
Use customer requests or initial sales evidence to determine the quantity split. Without that evidence, a proposed assortment is a trial plan, not a verified bestseller allocation. Keep the two variants distinct so later enquiries and sales can show which one your customers actually prefer.
Check the installation independently
The reviewed 1049663109937 record specifies a brass mixer and a 125–165 mm inlet-centre adjustment with the illustrated eccentric connectors. The thread standard is not established in that record.P07
Those facts should stay together. The range is not an assertion that every bathroom can accept the product, and it cannot be borrowed for another shower merely because the mixers look similar. Provide the exact drawing and fittings to the installation reviewer before approving a project order.
The same caution applies to overhead and riser dimensions. A generic detail image in the source material depicts a different assembly, so dimensions from that image are not assigned to these six configurations.P07
Build a useful quote request
Write separate order lines for each configuration and finish. A request for “100 black showers” leaves the outlet choice undefined; a line specifying the product reference, matte-black three-outlet version and quantity identifies an actual purchasing unit.
For a mixed enquiry, ask the supplier to confirm the minimum quantity at each relevant level. Do not assume that a combined order total automatically satisfies every finish or configuration requirement. Keep any proposed substitutions out of the order until they have been reviewed.
Before sampling, agree which option the sample represents and photograph all supplied components together. Mark an omitted accessory as omitted rather than letting an attractive hero image imply it is included.
Buyer questions
Can all four outlets operate together?
The reviewed record establishes the outlet list, not simultaneous-use behaviour or performance. Obtain that information for the exact configuration if it affects the purchase; do not infer it from four controls or four icons.
Does four-outlet mean four spray settings on the hand shower?
No. System outlets and the hand shower's spray settings are separate. Compare each in its own specification field.
Can different colours be combined in one order?
The catalogue lists the colours. Mixed-colour quantities and commercial conditions are order-specific and should be confirmed in the quotation, not inferred from the existence of multiple options.
Open the three- and four-outlet product or use the configuration comparison tool. Once the preferred options are clear, request a quotation.
