Clubmaster Showerhead
28496XX1
Short Cast Showerarm
27438XX1
Technical Data:
Recommended water pressure 45-60 PSI
Max. water pressure 90 PSI
Max. flow rate 2.5 GPM
Installation Considerations:
This showerhead includes a self-sealing filter gasket. The filter gasket makes Teflon tape
unnecessary in most installations.
This showerhead includes a decorative rubber boot to cover the connection between the
showerhead and the showerarm. Use of the boot is optional.
If you notice a gradual decrease in flow over time, remove the Clubmaster™ from the
showerarm and clean the filter gasket of any debris that may have accumulated.
Quiclean™ pins automatically dislodge scale deposits from the shower channels when
the spray mode is changed.
In Massachusetts, the maximum output temperature of the shower valve can be no higher
than 112° F.

Limited Lifetime Consumer Warranty
This product has been manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards by Hansgrohe, Inc. (“Hansgrohe”).
This warranty is limited to Hansgrohe products which are purchased by a consumer in the United States after March 1,
1996, and installed in either the United States or Canada.
WHO IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
This warranty extends to the original consumer purchaser only. This warranty is non-transferable.
WHAT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
This warranty covers only your Hansgrohe manufactured product. Hansgrohe warrants this product against defects in
material or workmanship as follows: Hansgrohe will repair at no charge for parts only or, at its option, replace any
product or part of the product that proves defective because of improper workmanship and/or material, under normal
installation, use, service and maintenance. If Hansgrohe is unable to provide a replacement and repair is not practical

Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products
Modern lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, and showers consist of very different materials to comply with the needs of
the market with regard to design and functionality. To avoid damage and returns, it is necessary to consider certain
criteria when cleaning.
Cleaning Materials for Faucets and Showers
Acids are a necessary ingredient of cleaning materials for removing lime, however please pay attention to the follow-
ing points when cleaning faucets and showers:
Only use cleaning materials which are explicitly intended for this type of application.
Never use cleaning materials which contain hydrochloric, formic, phosphoric, or acetic acid, as they cause
considerable damage.
Never mix one cleaning material with another.
Never use cleaning materials or appliances with an abrasive effect, such as unsuitable cleaning powders, sponge
pads, or micro fiber cloths.
Cleaning Instructions for Faucets and Showers
Please follow the cleaning material manufacturer’s instructions. In addition, pay attention to the following points:
Clean the faucets and showers as and when required
Use the amount of cleaning product and the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. Do not leave the
cleaner on the fixture longer than necessary.
Regular cleaning can prevent calcification.
When using spray cleaners, spray first onto a soft cloth or sponge. Never spray directly onto the faucet as drop-
lets can enter openings and gaps and cause damage.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.
Important
Residues of liquid soaps, shampoos, and shower foams can also cause damage, so rinse with clean water after using.
Please note: if the surface is already damaged, the effect of cleaning materials will cause further damage.
Components with damaged surfaces must be replaced or injury could result.
Damage caused by improper treatment is not covered under the warranty.
