CLASSIC: Classic headwork with cone seal – proven quality in millions of units. With over 550 million units produced, the Classic headwork is one of our company's most successful valves. The water flow is controlled by a precise cone seal that moves axially and, in combination with the valve seat, reliably opens and closes the water flow.

Flühs Valve Technology
The following overview lists all valve technology components manufactured by Flühs. If the valve you require is not listed, please contact us. We will work with you to develop a suitable solution.
LIFETIME: Lifetime headwork – world-leading technology with ceramic sealing discs. The Flühs Lifetime headwork stands for exceptional smoothness, durability, precise feel, and reliable sealing. Thanks to diamond-like hard ceramic sealing discs, this headwork achieves excellent functional reliability and an above-average life duration which makes it the global market leader among ceramic headworks.
KFR/free-flow valve: Solid valve technology for your domestic plumbing. Free-flow and KFR valves ensure reliable shut-off, high flow capacity, and maximum safety in drinking water installations. Thanks to their flow-optimized design and optional integrated backflow prevention (KFR), they offer optimum functionality with minimal pressure loss. Whether with a rising or non-rising stem, we supply the right solution for every installation situation.
MOTION: Multifunctional solution with ceramic disc technology. The Motion valve is a multifunctional diverter solution based on high-precision ceramic disc technology. It was specially developed for use in thermostatic fittings and enables the selection of premixed water to up to three separate water outlets – such as overhead shower, hand shower, and waterfall spout.
PROGRESSIV: Compact mixing valve with cold start function and precise control. Progressiv is a high-quality mixing valve with ceramic discs that has been specially developed for energy-saving single-lever fittings. Its integrated cold start function is a distinctive feature: when opened, only cold water flows initially, which effectively reduces unnecessary hot water consumption and also serves as protection against scalding – ideal for safety-relevant applications such as nurseries, schools, or care facilities.
BI-FLOW: Bi-Flow is a control unit with ceramic discs that allows two separate water ways to be regulated. It is used in kitchen fittings where it is necessary to be able to shut off filtered water in addition to cold and hot water.
MIX: Compact mixing solution without shut-off function. Mix is based on the technical concept of Progressiv, however, without an integrated shut-off function. It is used exclusively for mixing cold and hot water, so a separate unit is required for volume control and/or shut-off. This valve is particularly suitable for use in sensor fittings and is available in diameters of 22 mm, 25 mm, 29 mm, and 33 mm. The clear separation of the mixing and shut-off functions allows maximum flexibility in the design of modular fitting solutions.
THERMOSTAR: Precise temperature control with patented technology. The Thermostar family valves are high-precision thermostatic valves that ensure a constant mixed water temperature by compensating for pressure and temperature fluctuations in the cold and hot water supply. Automatic regulation keeps the preset temperature reliably at the desired level, ensuring high comfort, maximum safety, and energy efficiency. The valves are available in various cartridge sizes (S18, S22, and S25) and can be flexibly integrated into classic thermostatic fittings, modular systems, or shower panels.
PROMIX: Promix is a single-lever mixer with ceramic discs, which is characterized above all by its high ease of use, constant torque throughout its entire operating span, and durability thanks to its brass components. It can be used in a variety of ways in shower, sink, or kitchen fittings. Unlike standard plastic cartridges, Promix brass cartridges are capable of handling significantly higher torques.
BI-OPEN: Hygienically safe. Technically sophisticated. Failure-prone backflow preventers are a thing of the past: Bi-Open allows cold and hot water to be opened and closed simultaneously – with completely separate pipes in the valve body. Ideal for thermostatic fittings in public areas. Solid. Low maintenance. Future-proof.
PUSH2FLOW: Push2Flow controls water with a click: the first push starts the flow, the second push stops it. The axial operation replaces the classic rotary movement and creates a new, clear haptic experience for the end user. Lead-free brass, defined snap lock, hygienic and low-wear for sanitary, laboratory, and industrial applications.
BUBBLER: The Flühs Bubbler controls the water flow at the touch of a button – water only flows as long as the button is pressed. The axial operation ensures precise dosing, high hygiene, and easy handling. Ideal for drinking fountains, cemeteries, laboratories, medical, and public areas.

Products
Flühs System Technology
Flühs manufactures many products in the field of systems engineering. Here is an overview of the most important products.
THEBOX: Flühs electronic mixing unit. THEBOX combines a mechanical Flühs Thermostar thermostatic cartridge for precise temperature control, a durable lifetime valve for flow regulation and shut-off, as well as a Motion 3-way diverter for flexible control of the water flow. The three ultra-smooth valves are specially designed for electronic control with compact and energy-efficient motors.
UNIT: Technically sophisticated – for maximum integration into OEM systems. Flühs Drehtechnik supplies high-precision 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" units for use in three-hole fittings that meet the highest requirements for dimensional accuracy, flow rate and material quality. The valve bodies are optimally designed for use in industrial series production and can be easily integrated into existing systems.
PUSH2RELEASE: Invisible function. Visible design. The Flühs Push2Release (P2R) is an innovative handle adapter that can be combined with all Flühs valve models. Developed for modern in-wall solutions, it meets the highest demands for a minimalist, flush-mounted design. In its initial position, the P2R is completely level with the wall or tile surface and blends seamlessly into a design-oriented bathroom architecture.
S18 COMPLETE: The pre-assembled in-wall solution Flühs Thermostar S18 Complete is based on the proven Thermostar S18 thermostatic valve. The system is integrated into a compact pressed housing and has four connection options that can be individually activated or deactivated as required. Integrated backflow preventers provide additional safety and simplify installation.
S25 COMPLETE: The pre-assembled in-wall solution Thermostar S25 Complete is based on the powerful Flühs Thermostar S25 thermostatic valve. The valve is integrated into a robust pressed-part housing and has four connection options that can be individually activated or deactivated depending on the installation set-up. Backflow preventers are already factory-fitted.
TMM S18: The Thermo-Motion-Modular S18 (TMM) is a fully pre-assembled concealed solution for modern shower systems. It combines the Flühs Thermostar S18 thermostatic valve with the Motion-C 33 control valve. Both valves are integrated into a pressed-part housing and are joined by a connector with a selectable length.
PROMIX DC: The Promix DC single-lever mixer stands for uncompromising reduction in form and function. It is based on the proven Promix 25 and was developed especially for applications where minimalist design is paramount.
SHUT-OFF: This is a wall shut-off valve for shutting off main and secondary supply lines. The valve body acts as a straight-through valve, while the shut-off function is achieved by a Classic or Lifetime headwork (customized headworks can also be used).
