# Handheld Shower Heads: Factory, Model Families, and OEM Supply Source: https://www.ningboware.com/shower-heads/handheld-shower-heads/ Publisher: Cixi Zhonghe Sanitary Appliance Factory (ZHONGHE), Cixi, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. Contact: steven@ningboware.com Updated: 2026-09-05 A handheld shower head is a shower head held in the hand or docked in a wall bracket and fed by a flexible hose, normally with a G1/2 thread at the handle base. ZHONGHE, a factory in Cixi, Ningbo, China founded in 2001, manufactures handheld shower heads as its core product: roughly 100 hand shower models across filter, multi-function, baby, pet, hair and LED families in a 96-model catalog, supplied OEM/ODM from 500 to 2,000 units.

ZHONGHE's catalog is organized around those decisions rather than around price points. The factory injection-molds bodies in ABS on 15 machines, molds transparent handles in PC, plates or paints the finish, assembles on 4 production lines, and water-tests every finished unit for about 10-15 seconds before packing. That route has been running since 2001 in Cixi, Ningbo. ## The main handheld families Filter hand showers (28 models) have transparent handles with replaceable cartridges, such as the ZH2087T and ZH2092T families. Multifunctional hand showers (50 models) are chrome, white or matte finished heads with spray-mode selectors, such as ZH2019BC, ZH2256C and ZH2257. Baby, pet and hair models (23 listings) are compact heads with soft silicone bristles or cartoon shapes, such as ZH2982 and ZH2193W. ZH2078T is the LED model. - Filter hand showers: transparent cartridge handle, chrome bezel, white micro-nozzle face, optional stop button - Multi-function hand showers: 3 to 5 modes selected by ring, lever or button, chrome or white ABS - Compact specialty hand showers: baby, pet and hair formats with bristles, character shapes or aerator outlets - Water-saving specifications available on selected models, flow tested at 0.3MPa ## Ordering handheld shower heads from the factory Most buyers start from an existing model, add their logo, colors and packaging, and pair it with a hose and holder from the same catalog. State the destination market so the inlet thread and any adapter are specified correctly (G1/2 default, NPT considerations for North America), the packaging format, and the quantity. New designs follow about 15 days of appearance design, 15 days of structure design and 60 days of mold making as guides. ## FAQ ### Who manufactures handheld shower heads in Ningbo, China? ZHONGHE, the brand of Cixi Zhonghe Sanitary Appliance Factory in Cixi, Ningbo, Zhejiang, has manufactured handheld shower heads since 2001. Its catalog lists 75 hand shower models across filter, multifunctional, baby, pet, hair and LED families, supplied to importers, distributors and private label brands from 500 to 2,000 units. ### What thread does a handheld shower head use? G1/2 (BSPP) parallel thread at the handle base is the global default and is what ZHONGHE products use unless specified otherwise. North American plumbing uses 1/2 inch NPT on shower arms; the hose or an adapter is the usual conversion point, so state the destination market in the RFQ. ### Can we buy handheld shower heads with matching hoses and holders? Yes. The catalog includes 7 shower hoses (interlocked chrome and PVC types) and 9 holders (wall-mounted, suction cup, adhesive and shower-arm types), so a complete hand shower set can be packed from one factory. ### What is the MOQ for a private label handheld shower head? Many projects are discussable from 500 to 2,000 units, and custom packaging from about 2,000 units. The final figure depends on the model, finish, filter configuration and packaging. ## Related pages - https://www.ningboware.com/products/ - https://www.ningboware.com/products/multifunctional-shower-heads/ - https://www.ningboware.com/products/filter-shower-heads/ - https://www.ningboware.com/shower-heads/multi-function-spray-shower-heads/ - https://www.ningboware.com/shower-heads/hand-shower-sets-with-hose-and-holder/ - https://www.ningboware.com/resources/shower-head-adapters-fitment-by-market/ - https://www.ningboware.com/resources/how-to-install-a-handheld-shower-head/ - https://www.ningboware.com/resources/handheld-vs-fixed-shower-heads/
