hansgrohe Ecostat surface-mounted bath thermostat, 150 mm centres review

The only tap in this whole catalogue that publishes a flow rate WITH the pressure it was measured at — 20 l/min at 3 bar — alongside a centre distance and a tolerance.

The bottom line The bath thermostat you can specify entirely: centres, tolerance, connection, flow and the pressure behind it. Note its stop is 40 °C, not 38.

What you are getting

A chrome surface-mounted bath thermostat with 150 mm centres (±12 mm), G1/2 DN15 connections, a SafetyStop at 40 °C, a marked rotary diverter and a stated fill of up to 20 l/min at 3 bar.

The figure this catalogue has been waiting for

20 l/min at 3 bar.

Almost every flow claim in this catalogue is a number without a pressure, or a percentage without a comparison. A flow rate is meaningless without the pressure it was measured at, and this is the one listing in the whole park that publishes both.

The tolerance is the practical part

150 mm, ±12 mm. Wall connections are rarely perfect. Knowing the tap tolerates 12 mm either way turns the fitting question into a measurement rather than a gamble.

The stop, and where it sits

SafetyStop at 40 °C, released by a button on the handle. Every other thermostat in this hub stops at 38 °C. That is a genuine two-degree difference between makers, published rather than harmonised here.

And it remains a detent: a stop your hand feels and a button releases. It is not a scald-prevention device, and where genuine scald prevention is required a thermostatic mixing valve specified for the job is what does it.

What we like, and what we don't

Strengths

  • Publishes a flow rate AND the pressure it applies at — the only listing in this catalogue to do both
  • States a centre distance of 150 mm with a ±12 mm tolerance, so an imperfect existing installation can be checked
  • A marked rotary diverter, and a SafetyStop button on the handle rather than a hidden detent

Compromises

  • The SafetyStop is at 40 °C where the rest of this hub stops at 38 °C — a real difference, reported as published
  • No spout reach, so how far the fill lands into the bath is unknown
  • Among the dearest bath mixers in this hub

Questions people actually ask

Why does the ±12 mm tolerance matter?

Because existing wall connections are rarely exactly 150 mm apart. A tap that states how far out it can be and still fit turns "we will see" into an arithmetic you can do with a tape measure before ordering.

Is 20 l/min fast?

It is a full-bore bath fill, and at 3 bar it fills a 150-litre bath in under eight minutes. What makes the figure useful is not the number but the pressure attached to it — a flow claim without a pressure describes nothing.
