This Rite-Temp pressure-balancing valve works behind the scenes to prevent scalding and freezing for a safe, comfortable water supply. The valve features a high-temperature limit stop and an optimal comfort zone, so you can set a maximum high and then find and maintain your desired water temperature. Additionally, the unit has a diaphragm design that virtually eliminates freeze-ups from contamination and water debris. Universal NPT and direct sweat connections need no additional parts for installation, and screwdriver stops allow you to turn off the water supply at the valve.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Simple to install, recommended for the local maint shutoff
I used this valve in a full bathroom for my basement. Kohler has a ton of cheap to expensive trim finishes to match with this and it's very easy to install. I paired it with sharkbite valves to connect to CPVC - installation took less than 15 minutes.
The screwdriver shutoff valves allows the water to be shutoff when the PBU (Pressure balancing unit) needs to be replaced when it eventually fails - which Kohler warranties. VERY useful to prevent days of leaky shower during repair and prevents the need to shut of the house water.

Very Good Valve for Shower
I bought this valve because I already installed one in a shower and am very happy with the temperature regulation without the expense of a thermostatically controlled valve. This new valve has the built in shutoffs, which will allow valve gut change out without shutting the house water supply off. Be aware that this valve has no flow regulation, basically full on only, similar to a hotel room shower.
Not the same as picture
I had 3 models to choose from and this one matched perfectly....until I got it. Not sure if the design has changed but the flow adjustments are now at an angle not at 90 degrees like the picture (and like the old one I had)....it may have worked the same but unfortunately I cannot comment on that since we ended up only using 'the guts' which fixed our leaky problem.
Amazon....update your picture if the part has been superseded!!
