Featuring a sleek and stylish round head, the Cylindrico 5 showerhead is the best of both worlds, with a modern design and five spray patterns to please the most selective aesthetic and performance requirements. Its 3" spray head features easy-to-clean dark nibs, comes in a plethora of high-qual- ity finishes and is available with inno- vative low-flow regulators that lower the average flow rate from the stan- dard 2.5 gpm down to an impressive 1.75 gpm.
