Review on Efficient 5-Function Brass Thermostatic Shower Valve Kit With Concealed Water Diverter And 6 Round Handles In Brushed Nickel by Rusty Smith

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Wrong thread for USA

Choose carefully… this shower set is Chinese & manufactured for British standard "G” thread. No taper, just an O ring. Problem was I needed an elbow (90*) off each fitting and the G thread only tightens to ONE random clock position +/- a few degrees . Required machine shop and brazing to make custom pipe fittings to work .BTW… G fitting to pipe thread adapters are very $$$ and not a great seal.If had to do over would recommend a domestic valve set that use pipe thread & won’t leak at the O ring .

Pros
  • ‎1
Cons
  • The valve may make showering more complicated for inexperienced users
