Pfister PermaBalance 0X8 Series Tub & Shower Rough-In Valve and Pressure Balance Cartridge, Universal Fittings, 0X8340A

Wish the factory settings on mix was a bit better after shower was done tried new fixtures all cold next to no hot water. Had to take apart and adjust.

Only used the internal parts to replace my old broken parts. Very simple to install if you know how to take apart the old valve.

Worked great for my Pfister shower kit. I used the YouTube channel “Got2Learn” to learn how to plumb it. Plumbers want around $400-500 to install these, so it’s worth spending a $50 on a torch kit and accessories to just do it yourself if you have a couple hours to spend on YouTube learning how to cut and solder pipes.

has only been installed a few weeks, so don't know if any issues will show up.like the ability to locally turn off water to change the cartridge, when the time comes.

Good product, works as intended.

Bigger valve than I thought but it’s very sturdy and get the job done.

Not being a plumbing expert, I was confused about the terms "with stops" and "less stops" on some plumbing shower valves. After finding out that the stops allow you "front access" for future maintenance like cartridge replacement, we chose the one with stops. Very happy with it thus far.

Good for the price.

I've been using the pfister valves for ages and they've always held up for me (and the warranty service is second to nobody), but my most recent installs will probably be my last. Some kind of water-saving feature in the new cartridges makes the flow rate just barely acceptable for a shower. I would 100% use these if I was a landlord because they're durable and I would never need to buy another one, but for my own home I would like a shower where I can enjoy myself and the water saving "feature" is actually a bug.
