The AXOR One shower assembly includes a head shower, hand shower, shower bar, and wall connection. The swivel feature in the shower arm allows for flexibility of the shower head (comes with Rain and PowderRain). The hand shower with the spray type PowderRain features as EcoSmart version saves on water consumption.
