A wide range of fittings for heavily used sanitary facilities: our LINUS series

5-minute read

A harmonious design for showers and washrooms – the linear elegance of SCHELL’s versatile LINUS series makes it the ideal choice. The many models available are unified by an appealing design offering a modern, no-frills look coupled with outstanding quality. Whether exposed or concealed, the fittings in the versatile LINUS range offer an impressive combination of durability, usability and simple installation. Read on to find out more about the various models available.

The concealed wash basin taps in our LINUS series are suitable for a wide variety of installation scenarios. Three separate outlet lengths are available – 110, 170 and 230 mm – and each with a temperature control or for cold/premixed water. This makes it easy to find the right tap for any wash basin. In terms of visual appearance, there is a choice of front panels made from chromed brass or stainless steel. Thanks to their robustness and durability, these fittings are ideal for use in heavily frequented sanitary facilities, such as in fitness centres or other types of public and semi-public applications. The various fitting variants are each combined with the matching SCHELL masterbox, which makes installation easy and straightforward. The electronic models, such as the LINUS W-E-V, offer contactless triggering with an infrared sensor to ensure a high level of user comfort while improving user hygiene. This avoids manual contact with the fitting and therefore minimises the risk of contact infections. The electronic models also offer the option of stagnation flushes – such as every 24 hours, for example – which provides support for maintaining drinking water hygiene. Please see this blog post for an in-depth look at the topic of drinking water hygiene.

The concealed shower fitting models in our LINUS series are designed to support a wide variety of applications, with a choice of thermostat cartridge for anti-scalding protection, CVD touch electronics or a combination of both of these features. Configurable flow times help to significantly cut water consumption while ensuring a high level of usability. Front panels are available in a choice of chromed brass or stainless steel to match the LINUS wash basin taps. The actuation mechanism is always made from chromed brass: this makes the shower fittings durable and ensures they can stand up to even high-intensity usage. Thanks to their modern, linear design, they blend in well with many interiors and can add the finishing touch to an inviting atmosphere for hotel sanitary facilities, for example. Electronic variants of the concealed shower fittings also have the option of executing stagnation flushes, which helps to maintain drinking water quality. 

With its LINUS Basic series, SCHELL offers three model variants that ensure the benefits of intelligent fittings can be enjoyed even despite a minimum level of investment. As one example, the LINUS Basic D-C-T is an electronic self-closing fitting with CVD touch electronics and a pressure-sensitive actuation element that also offers a maximum temperature limit. All models in the LINUS Basic series feature a front panel made from stainless steel and a chromed brass actuation mechanism.

For greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness, electronic fittings can be optimally networked with the SCHELL SWS Water Management System. SWS facilitates the centralised programming, control and monitoring of electronic SCHELL fittings. With the option of assigning fittings to groups, a stagnation flush can then be triggered across multiple fittings at the same, preconfigured point in time, simulating specified normal operation with the necessary turbulent flows. Thanks to SWS, stagnation flushes can also be logged, and predictive maintenance planned easily and effectively. 

The supplementary, browser-based SMART.SWS online service provides remote monitoring and control of SWS systems and individual fittings – when working from home, for example. Password-protected access is available from any device with internet connectivity. SMART.SWS offers an overview of the most important runtime parameters for the installations managed with SWS. Messages, calculated water consumption and much more is all attractively visualised by the SMART.SWS dashboard, and can be viewed depending on the user’s individually assigned role.

SCHELL’s LINUS series is always a good choice for scenarios requiring a wide choice of solutions to meet the need of carefully coordinated wash basin taps, concealed shower fittings and shower panels. The LINUS series combines a linear design with long-lived quality and great usability for use in modern (semi-)public and commercial sanitary facilities. All LINUS and LINUS Inox wash basin taps and shower fittings can be combined together to ensure a perfectly harmonised look-and-feel for the installation. We also plan to feature more of our fittings series in future blog posts – so stay tuned!
