Does what it's supposed to do
I purchased two of these during the past year for two bathroom updates. I had existing builder grade Kohler valve trim and wanted to update to newer valve trim/ faucets. I did not replace the entire valve with these units, only removing the cartridge in the front and plastic trim and extensions that were included. This helped so that the new Kohler trim could be attached easily. It was actually more cost effective to purchase new valves on Amazon than trying to purchase only parts of the valves, excluding the metal portion where the pipes attach, not wanting to replace what was already there and functioning unless there was no other way. I looked up my older Kohler faucet model to see what valve may have been in there already and this was the one that might fit, and thankfully, it did and easily. It wasn't the same for other valves in my remodel.
The replacements work well in both bathrooms.

Excellent Manifold!
We are remodling our bathroom - back to the framing - and are replacing 4 year old (leaky) Delta fixtures with all Kohler fixtures. Of course, the Delta manifold wouldn't fit the Kohler tub fixture, so we ordered this from Amazon (had it here in three days) and installed it. We're grateful we got the Kohler!
The instructions are pretty straightforward and easy to understand, as is the installation. I'm not a plumber, but managed the installation without any difficulty.
The valve is precise and well made. It's a bit pricier a valve than others, but worth every penny!
Great value - cheaper than individual parts
I installed a valve like this about 8 years ago during a bath remodel - due to the less-than-optimum design (documented on many forums) it's going to start leaking in 7-10 years unless you have ultra-soft water.
You can either remove the plastic part, disassemble, and replace the O-rings (be very careful not to break any of the plastic guts - with all the hard water calcification I was unable to avoid breaking the plastic guts), or you can buy this piece, remove the entire plastic valve assembly and place it in the old brass assembly that is in your bathroom wall (after turning off the water supply, of course).
Easy enough for a moderately talented DIY type to do, and the price for the whole assembly is less than the price for the plastic valve and the necessary O-rings. Recycle the brass, or save it for the next project!
