Review on Matt Black KES Shower System With Pressure Balancing Shower Valve, Tub Faucet Spout Set, Handheld, 10 Inch Rainfall Shower Head Combo - All-Metal Construction, Model XB6300-BK by Derrek Fields

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Can't install it correctly.

So I am fixing up my house and ready to flip it, I did a complete bathroom tear out and right now I'm inside the wall and I just finished installing the mixer, I have all of the packs going in on the left and right for the hot and cold, one going up for the shower head, and one going down for the bath spout. There are no other connections to go for the handle. I guess I was supposed to split off when coming down and then use a tee connector to get the handle part supplied, but even that doesn't make much sense to me. That means that when you turn on the handheld shower part your spout is going to be flowing, and then reach down and lift the shut off for the spout. And when you switch back to the shower, that means that the pressure will be relieved in that circuit and the spout is going to release. So you have to go through this whole configuration in your shower just to take a shower. I don't like that at all. So I am omitting the shower handle, which has dramatically changed what I thought this was all going to be. And therefore, I think this is a real pile of crap. And I'm not going to go to the process of calling the company in figuring everything out, I'm in a very tight schedule for a 10-week project and I am two days behind schedule. I'm not letting this be my third day behind. Also, the instructions are very poor. If you're a jack-of-all-trades perhaps you can get through it,

Pros
  • The stylish matte black finish adds a modern touch to any bathroom decor
Cons
  • The shower system may not be suitable for small children or individuals with mobility issues
