{"product_id":"pex-a-pressure-balancing-shower-rough-in-valve-with-stops","title":"PEX A Pressure Balancing Shower Rough-In Valve with Stops","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuilt for PEX A supply systems, this all-brass pressure balance rough-in valve connects directly to 1\/2 in. cold expansion lines at the hot and cold inlets and the shower riser outlet. Direct PEX A connections eliminate threaded adapters at three of the four ports, which means fewer fittings to buy, fewer joints to make, and fewer potential leak paths behind the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe tub spout outlet is a 1\/2 in. NPT threaded port. Tub spouts need full-flow piping to fill quickly and to keep water from rising to the shower head, so this port is designed for rigid pipe rather than PEX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside the forged brass body, a ceramic disc pressure balance cartridge holds outlet temperature steady when pressure shifts elsewhere in the system, such as a toilet flush or a running appliance. An adjustable hot limit stop lets the installer set a maximum output temperature for dependable anti-scald protection. Integrated screwdriver stops shut off water at the valve, so trim work and cartridge service never require closing the main supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eService is quick by design. The retaining ring is made with flats, so the cartridge can be secured and removed without screws. The flat-back body sits flush on cross braces for simple, stable mounting, and the included plaster guard acts as both a rough-in depth guide and a support for thin wall materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA rough-in range of 1-3\/4 in. to 2-3\/4 in. from finished wall to valve body covers common wall depths, and built-in hot\/cold reversal handles back-to-back installations without extra parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis code-compliant valve is a preferred choice for residential tub and shower installations on PEX A plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1\/2 in.
