🚿 Optimized for Better Search: Moen 8371HD Commercial PosiTemp 1/2-Inch CC Pressure Balancing Shower Valve Review

All valves should be made like this for every home. No plastic. No scalding when switching on the washing machine. Always the perfect shower.

If using a three-way valve along with a temperature control valve, make sure you don't just pop out the top of the bottom valve to fill the valve above. You need to exit the bottom port as shown in the picture and instructions for it to work properly.

Buy this item it said it was used but new in its original packaging. Fixtures and body work for the price as I have a bathroom for customers everything is on display and I can't wait wow I'm not very happy with the seller.

I liked it so much I bought another one for another bathroom I'm renovating. This is the commercial version and is very solidly built.

Pros: Very durable, internal mechanism works properly. Maybe. But there are also disadvantages. First, it doesn't have a flat back. There are two holes on the flange and the back is raised in a thick brass "x". It was very difficult trying to mark consistent positions for the holes while he was swinging. Constant. It only came loose after it was screwed down, which was equally annoying knowing I had to remove the screws on the wall to adjust the level of the surface. Joking, I can do the same…
