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

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.

When I opened this to find the stem was plastic (even though the manufacturers website says it is all brass), I returned it. I bought the more compact valve,

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!

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.

Missing a screw very annoying delayed my tub working

Great iteam

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.

has only been installed a few weeks, so dont know if any issues will show up. like the ability to locally turn off water to change the cartridge, when the time comes.

Good valve
