24″ Hand Shower Slide Bar & Leak Elimination (5′ Hose & Coupling Kit)
$120.00The leak elimination kit includes a 24-inch long hand shower bar, a 5-foot long stainless-steel braided shower hose, and a threaded coupling for connecting to an existing pull-out shower hose. This simple kit is specially designed to eliminate water leakage through the insert hole of the deck mount hand shower. A common mistake made by contractors or customers is using the existing pull-out hand shower as a wall-mounted shower. That leaves the pull-out hand shower insert hole open for water leaks. The water will enter the hole, and therefore leaking onto the floor behind the walk-in tub. The existing pull-out hand shower is not designed for this method of installation. It must only be used while sitting, and then returned to its position after use.The included 5-foot stainless steel braided shower hose must be attached to the existing hand shower hose with threaded coupling. The attached coupling to the existing hose must be pushed back into the hole to create a leakproof seal between the gasket and the existing hose connector. The slide bar can be conveniently installed in any location on the side or end wall. By adjusting and securing it to the desired height and angle, the hand shower can be used as a regular wall-mounted shower head. The slide bar is made of stainless steel and finished in chrome. By sliding the hand shower up or down, you can easily secure the desired positioning.Note: If you’re planning to install a hand shower slider bar on the wall, this is a must-buy and must-install accessory to prevent leaks through the pull-out hand shower insertion hole.Downloads:

DURABASE WS – Corner Tape with Protection Wall Sealing Against Trowels
From $69.00DURABASE WS Corner Joint Tape (ETA Approved) is a professional waterproofing solution engineered to protect the most vulnerable transitions in wet areas. Corners and junctions are where moisture pressure and movement typically cause failures, which is why secure sealing at wall-to-floor and wall-to-wall connections is essential. This tape is designed to deliver dependable wall sealing behind tile in showers, wet rooms, bathrooms, and other moisture-exposed spaces, helping prevent leaks that can lead to mold, damaged substrates, and costly repairs.
A key advantage is its ETA approval, providing added confidence that the product is assessed for performance in demanding construction environments when installed as part of the recommended system. The tape also features a reinforced center strip that helps resist accidental damage during installation, such as trowel impacts or punctures that can compromise the waterproofing layer.
Ideal for new builds and renovations, DURABASE WS Corner Joint Tape supports a clean, system-based waterproofing method by reinforcing critical joints and maintaining continuity across transitions. The result is a more durable, watertight finish and long-term peace of mind, with premium protection exactly where wet-area assemblies need it most.

Flexible Glue Up Tile Flange for Walk-in Tubs, Shower Bases and Bathtubs Without Flange
From $69.00The purpose of the Ella Glue-Up Tile Flange kit is to provide the perfect tile flange option for bathtubs and shower bases that lack a built-in tile flange.
Ella brand walk-in bathtub shells do not include an integral tile flange. The reason for this omission is our focus on maximizing interior space by minimizing the deck width to the necessary minimum. As a result, finishing tiles or wall panels over the deck should also occupy minimal space to allow for cleaning gaps between the wall and fixtures. We strongly recommend purchasing and installing Ella’s glue-up flexible tile flange for this purpose. This tile flange is constructed from a thin, waterproof fabric membrane and is perfectly suited for this application.
