Threads of low value, in my opinion. Mine went off without a hitch. Ensure that the hose for the shower head attachment has the same threads as the hose for the faucet. For each app, there are separate threads.
Yes! 100%. Wall valves that leak are ideal candidates for this product.
That's correct. Completely turn off the power, restrict the flow, and turn off the lights. br>Excellent product; I've been using it for a long time and have had no problems.
Oh my goodness, how could so many people be so wrong about this? Except for Matt, who qualified his "metal" response by saying he hadn't checked out the LEVER (which is what the original poster was asking about), everyone else here said metal or brass, which it isn't. It's made of ABS plastic and has a chrome finish. The casing is made of plated brass, the handle pin is made of spring steel, and the inside is made of neoprene (o-ring). The ring is made of titanium and the valve is made of delrin, but the handle is made of ABS. The only way to find out is to remove the handle, which I'm guessing no one here did (I had to because I couldn't screw it on in the tight space I have available behind my shower fitting otherwise).

On Amazon, there are a variety of shutoff valves with various thread types to help control my water flow, but it was unclear which would work with my Moen shower. I was able to remove the water restriction o- Because the water pressure on my Moen Banbury brushed nickel shower head wasn't cutting it, I made a ring out of it. There was an excessive amount of water flowing after that. This shutoff valve did an excellent job of controlling the water flow. The shower head received a score of 1 out of 5 stars. 75 gpm. I'm just over two, but I haven't measured my flow. The slide control is smooth and easy to operate. Installation was a breeze thanks to the IPS male and female connections (with washers). No leaks. The water is completely shut off by the shutoff valve, but it takes a while for the water to drain. This valve's nickel finish blends in nicely with Moen's brushed nickel. I'm glad I purchased this to help with my water flow issue.
The knob in the picture appeared to be difficult to operate, but it is actually very smooth and simple to open and close a water line. Because my shower has three outlets, I purchased three of these. To install this, you'll need a roll of teflon tape, scissors, and a small adjustable wrench (just snug tight, and make sure the rubber seal is still in place and not on the floor). br>br>At a local Lowe's, I purchased Delta shower heads on clearance, and I am very happy with both the shower heads and the shut-off valves. valves are turned off I recently moved into a house and was surprised at how much of a difference replacing the shower heads made. day.
In my situation, this item was the ideal solution. In my home, I have excellent water pressure and a fantastic shower head, but there is no way to control the water flow; it is either on or off. I would run out of hot water in about 5 minutes because the water flow was so strong. I unscrewed the shower head, screwed this valve onto the pipe, and then screwed the shower head back on. The threads were a little tight, but it was simple to loosen them with the right wrench. I no longer have any leaks, issues, or problems, and I have complete control over the amount of water that comes out of my shower head. My brushed nickel hardware looked great with the brushed nickel plating.
The shutoff valve felt great in my hands and appeared to be a well-made product until I installed it. br>br>It leaked and sprayed all over the place, even reaching across the room to the vanity! It's a similar situation because the piece might work with a different gasket, which is what I'll try next, as another reviewer suggested. br>br>I used plumbers tape in varying amounts and tightness of the fitting, as another reviewer suggested. There are still leaks. At the very least, it doesn't spray all over the place right now and can be used. Because the edges have disintegrated and I had to fish it out of the shower arm once, I know it's the gasket. The valve also does not completely stop the flow of water. Even when completely shut, there is still a trickle. br>br>I'll let you know when I get a new shower head gasket from HD. br>br>NEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Even after replacing the gasket, the thing continues to leak. I'm going to give it a one-star rating.
It says 1/2" in and out, which I think is fine. I installed it by hand between my shower outlet pipe and the hose/wand attachment that I use (I'm not a fan of putting a valve at the shower head end of a hose, but it appears that many people are). Your uncle's name is Bob, and he is your cousin. My goal was to reduce the volume/velocity of water that went to my hand wand; my one-knob shower system is like a hotel. Immediately turn on cold, then rotate to the temperature of your choice, with no pressure adjustment. Dumb. That's no longer a possibility. Now I'm the one in charge of the tension! The adjustment controller comes in handy quite a bit. There isn't much in the way of throw, but it's clear that the value's designers are familiar with the Dynamics of Flow. Getting things from point A to point B. Cool.
When I put it in place, it sprayed water all over the place. I noticed there was no washer when I removed it. A trip to the hardware store is definitely in order. I would have bought this item at the hardware store if I had known I would have to go. It was re-washed with a new washer. Teflon tape was wrapped around it and it was put in place. The leaks are gone, but oh yipee, the shutoff doesn't completely turn off the water. There's a sprinkling of rain. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to shut off completely because if you mess with it long enough, wiggling it back and forth, you can get it to do so for the most part. It's a cheap piece of junk that I wouldn't buy again. You could take a chance, but I'd go with something else.
It's been a few months since we've used it, and it's made a significant difference in our shower. I have a booster pump set to run in the evenings, which allows me to have a 40 PSI difference between showering in the morning and showering at night. This throttling valve makes adjusting the flow, regardless of pressure, a breeze. It was very simple to set up. With a wrench, it takes 2 minutes. Although thread tape is recommended, you may be able to reuse what you already have. The brushed nickel finish coordinates with the rest of our bathroom accessories. This book comes highly recommended.
It is appealing to the eye. Teflon tape and flat-sided wrenches (no teeth) were my tools of choice. I wrapped it three times and tightened it to a comfortable level (I didn't use a torque wrench, but I could have). The valve did not open or close, but it did not leak. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Just because it appears to be a sturdy valve in comparison to the big-name valves doesn't mean it is. Plastic garbage from a box store can be damaged if it is handled incorrectly. the tightening When I buy it again, I'll go with a 1/4 turn hand tightening.
