Questions & Answers

Is the rough in valve included in this?

Yes, if you're referring to the wall valve.

Is it possible to use it without having to use the tub faucet?

Yes. I didn't put in a tub faucet because I didn't have one.

Is it possible to replace an existing shower head and hot/cold handles without breaking the tiles with this retrofit?

Yes, you can use the shower head. br>However, the handles are usually specific to the manufacturer. Before purchasing this, I had an older style set of handles that I couldn't replace.

Is the finish mostly black, or can you see a bronze/brown tone?

It's dark bronze in color. A living finish that changes color as it ages, revealing subtle bronze highlights in the process.

It's well worth the money
5/5

It was well worth the money. I was hesitant to order after reading the reviews, but I went ahead and did so. In the bathroom, they have a very elegant appearance. They're built to last. Installing it was a breeze. It was a good set, according to my plumber.

We're building a house in Hawaii, which is already expensive enough without having to pay island prices for all of the hardware
5/5

It was a godsend to be able to order this item at mainland prices with free shipping. The quality is excellent for the price, and all of the items are made of metal. The handle and mixer are made of solid brass and are one piece. The handles are made of metal and are quite substantial. Although the shower head and tub spout are made of metal, they are relatively lightweight. This was a good buy for the money, and they were simple to set up. They use the same valve cartridge for both hot and cold checks, and they are made of brass.

The valves and spout are fine, but the shower head is a disaster
4/5

The installation wasn't too difficult, but I did have some assistance from a former plumber, and it took us about 3 hours in total. br>br>Valves are very smooth, finish is nice, and spout is nice as well. br>br>Shower head is terrible. Right out of the box, there's a leak in the threads. Rather than returning it, I believe I will replace the head. Because the pattern is far too broad, the water pressure is a little low. It sprays my curtain and the side of the shower; that pattern is fixed; only the middle can be changed. br>br>I'd give this a 3 out of 5 stars. 7 out of 5 stars The valves are excellent, and the spout performs admirably, but the shower head is a complete disaster.

I bought it four months ago and I really like it, especially for the price
5/5

I like it a lot, especially for the price, and it looks fantastic! The knobs are smooth and easy to turn, though they do appear to be a little sensitive - A small turn will result in a significant temperature change. However, I believe it is a good value for the money. The shower head produces a good amount of water spray; No, there isn't a whole lot of spray adjustment available, but I don't need it. Installing it was a bit of a challenge - We hired a plumber to complete the job. But I'm not sure if it was because of this product - It could have been unrelated because we were working in a foreclosure with a lot of plumbing issues. However - do note - Because you must install this from the back side of the shower, you must be able to access behind the shower wall (fortunately, we had an access panel). The finish is still in excellent condition. It's something I'd purchase again.

It really works
5/5

It looks fantastic. Metal of excellent quality. The knobs and handles are attractive, and the valves function well. I didn't use the head because I chose one with a hose, but the pipe that comes out of the wall to attach the head to looks great, so I did. The valves are in good working order, and I am pleased with them. I looked in a few different hardware stores but couldn't find a better price.

Best of luck to you
3/5

Adequate. Installing takes six hours. The hot water side of the faucet was broken, and it refused to turn off. Pipes had to be capped and pipes had to be uninstalled. Return it to us. A week later, I received a new set. it has been installed It appeared to be successful. I wouldn't have waited for a replacement if I hadn't been unable to locate one locally. I went to every store I could find to see what was available. As the price suggests, these are very low-cost (chintzy). A dinosaur with two handles. I can only say positive things about them; they added two weeks to my bath remodel project, including one week without water!.

The color was not as shown on the website, and the shower head was awful
3/5

I thought the set was very nice when I first saw it; the color was a little off, but I was willing to overlook it because we needed it to finish our project; the knobs invert in instead of straight out; and the shower head was terrible. There's no need to worry! I'd go with a different set, but we already have everything set up.

Classic design that is also long-lasting! Although some people dislike this product due to the size of the shower head, I prefer it because of the lower flow rate
5/5

Even so, it does the job! It has a traditional appearance, and the finish is superior to that of other oil-based products. Finished in a rubbed bronze finish. After my father assisted me in installing the handle, I had a problem with it. I suspected it was faulty, so I emailed Kingston, who promptly sent me replacement parts at no cost. It turned out that the previous owner had installed a piece backwards because I bought it used. It worked perfectly after I got the handle on the right way! This product has a great style, and if you're looking for something classic, this is it!.
