How to Specify Shower Head Face Plate (Etched / Micro-Perforated)

Nozzle hole & count: Hole diameter and count set the flow at a given pressure — specify the target L/min at 3 bar, not only the hole size.
Etched or punched: Photo-etched plates give tapered, burr-free nozzles below 0.5 mm; punching suits larger holes.
Thickness & finish: 0.6–1.0 mm in SS304 or SS316, brushed, polished or PVD-coated to match the trim.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

Fit the plate with the narrow (exit) side of the tapered nozzles facing the user so jets stay coherent.
Soak in diluted vinegar to dissolve scale; never pick nozzles with a needle, which enlarges and burrs them.

Common Mistakes

Matching hole count to a competitor but not the plate thickness, which changes the flow rate.
Specifying 0.15 mm mist holes in a hard-water region without an inlet filter — they scale shut within weeks.

When Shower Head Face Plate (Etched / Micro-Perforated) Is Not the Right Choice

Not a flow restrictor on its own — certified low-flow ratings still need the restrictor in the shower inlet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shower Head Face Plate (Etched / Micro-Perforated) used for?

Forming the spray face of hand, overhead and rain shower heads, where nozzle size and ring pattern set the spray feel and flow.

Why use a stainless steel shower face plate instead of plastic nozzles?

Typically 260–560 for 150–250 mm plates; the count is chosen together with hole size to hit the target flow at 3 bar.
