Installing concealed bath and shower systems is easy with Oras Bluebox
Hiding pipes, valves and control units behind the wall, concealed bath and shower installations are the perfect choice for creating a neat and uncluttered look in the bathroom.
But compared to classic water control systems, concealed bath and shower systems seem hard to replace and renovate.
The Oras Bluebox is designed to optimise the process for installers, from the installation of the concealed box to maintenance services and upgrades – even years after installation.

Here’s all you need to know about the Oras Bluebox for concealed bath and shower fittings.
The Oras Bluebox is universally deployable and suited for all cover parts across Oras' series.
By using the four 1/2" standard connections, the Oras Bluebox can be connected to a wide range of pipe systems and easily adjusted to specific customer requests. The Bluefix-function further guarantees flexible installation, allowing you to mount the Oras Bluebox to any surface type.
Its trim kits are available as single-lever or thermostat shower faucets for installation in baths and showers. They also work for additional electronic solutions, such as electronic washbasins in public places.
The basic unit is rotation-symmetric and provides the following two connections:
- 1/2" connections > 90°
- 3/4" connections > 180°
For high-traffic buildings, such as hotels or hospitals, where constant water flow needs to be guaranteed, a variant with an integrated shut-off valve is available (Oras 2081 G3/4).
This ensures a fast and easy maintenance process as you don’t need to shut off the entire buildings’ pipe systems if work needs to be done on one particular shower faucet.
Oras Bluebox can be installed to any surface type.
Design and trim kits can be adjusted flexibly at a later stage as only the basic unit is installed in the wall.
The Oras Bluebox has a flexible installation depth of 75mm to 105mm and a telescopic diverter connection. This allows installers to connect the diverter of the trim kit securely and easily to the function unit without the need to shorten it accordingly to the installation depth.
Thanks to BLUETUNE, you can adjust the angle of the cover plate even after the installation.
With reversal adapter it is possible to switch the hot and cold water inlets in the Oras Bluebox installations.

Once the Oras Bluebox base unit is installed, you can easily change the design of the cover parts at any time as the Oras Bluebox is compatible with all Oras cover parts and design lines.
This way, buildings with high renovation frequency, such as hotels, can change the design without needing to change the entire concealed Oras Bluebox installation.
The Oras Bluebox comes with two outlets which can be used flexibly for the spout, shower set, shower head and other applications.
Depending on your application, you can easily connect your shower set, spout or overhead shower to the relevant outlet at the top or the bottom of the Oras Bluebox.
The Blueswitch diverter runs pressure-independent, leading to greater convenience and reliability for installers and end-users.
Precise planning and adequate instalment are key for concealed shower fittings. The mixer technology of the Oras Bluebox is designed to provide maximal assurance during the installation process and long-lasting functionality, which can be easily upgraded and renovated at any time.
