Price Pfister 0X8-340A Pressure Balance Valve, Universal Fittings, With Stops

I have one of these in my bathroom, had to purchase one more for spare

Good product, works as intended.

Good for the price.

Not being a plumbing expert, I was confused about the terms with stops and less stops on some plumbing shower valves. After finding out that the stops allow you front access for future maintenance like cartridge replacement, we chose the one with stops. Very happy with it thus far.

Worked great for my Pfister shower kit. I used the YouTube channel “Got2Learn” to learn how to plumb it. Plumbers want around $400-500 to install these, so it’s worth spending a $50 on a torch kit and accessories to just do it yourself if you have a couple hours to spend on YouTube learning how to cut and solder pipes.

Very clear installation instructions came with this well built valve. All the parts fit well together. Should last us a few years if my installation of the PEX pipes holds up!

Incorrect description. Only the stop fittings are female. Remember, to turn off the unit, at the wall, you MUST loosen the collars around the stops. The screws will NOT turn, otherwise, and youll tear the brass slots to nothing. If your cut-out is in tile, and its a tight circle around the cartridge, you will NOT be able to access the stops, unless you nibble away at the tile, and thats not a good idea. In that case, install 1/2 male brass plugs, into the stops. They will sock up without turning off the hot and cold flow. I like being able to easily change out valves, so the male fittings are great. You dont need to make sweat connections. You can use flex hoses to hook up to your supply pipes, as long as all are fitted with threaded connections. Easy as pie, once you get those threaded connections sweated onto your existing pipes. Good luck, have fun!

Good valve

This product did not fit the fixtures it claimed in the listing and would not allow me to return it. Very disappointed with customer service in this situation.
