I have not had any problems at all with it. My old one was dripping constantly. I hate the valves that have to be turned on by turning clockwise through the cold section to find the warm water at full volume. You can leave this valve set at the correct temperature spot of your preference and just pull it out as far as you prefer for the volume of water you choose. That is the best feature to this valve. The ceramic discs ensure a long and trouble free, and drip proof life. Of course, my cat misses sitting in the tub and getting a drink from the dripping faucet.

Haven't finished installing it.This is the only one handle that I could find with two functions,volume and tempurature as well as ceramic disk valves.The trim kit I ordered at the same time did not match the photograph on the website.Now I have to change out the trim for the master bathroom to get it to match.With the ceramic disk valves,it never drips unless they crack.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Flow-Adjustable Shower Faucet Valve My high rise condo building was replacing the water pipes in all the units and the city required replacing the old separate hot and cold shower faucet valves with a single pressure balance faucet. The faucet valve the association chose for all units was not flow-adjustable and from another brand. It was either off or full blast water pressure. I wanted one where I could adjust how much hot or cold water would come out. One of my neighbors already had a code-compliant pressure balancing and flow-adjustable faucet from American Standard that she was happy with, so I decided to purchase a similar American Standard faucet valve. This valve was installed by the plumbers who were installing the other valves in the building, so I can't grade how easy or hard installing this valve was compared to the others. They didn't seem to have a problem with installation. Also required were screwdriver stops that allow water supply to be turned off at the valve without turning off the water supply to the rest of the units, which this valve has. This valve also has an adjustable ring to set the maximum hot water temperature for safety to avoid scalding, if you have children or elderly, for example. It comes with the setting at the maximum temperature. Changing the setting requires removing the faucet handle and cover. The valve comes with installation and adjustment instructions I'm very happy with the feel and function of this shower valve. The faucet handle (part of the trim package that has to be purchased separately) turns smoothly to select water temperature, and pulls to select amount of water flow, and has a solid feel. The sound of the water coming out of the bathtub spout seems quieter than the loud sound coming from my neighbors' new non-adjustable shower faucets. Given it's an American Standard brand, I'm expecting a long useful life. It comes with a "Limited Lifetime Function and Finish Warranty" for as long as original residential buyer owns the faucet (5 years for commercial installations). Labor not included. The American Standard Colony Soft trim package I purchased separately included the faucet handle and escutcheon, water spout (both shown in photos), and shower head. It was a "Satin Nickel" finish and I wish I had purchased the Chrome finish instead. This doesn't affect the function of the valve

How to control volume of the water

How to control volume of the water with this valve?
Asked by: Freesurfer
To control the volume or flow of water, pull bottom of the faucet handle toward you. The volume increases the farther out you pull the handle. The water temperature is controlled by turning (not pulling) the faucet handle clockwise for hot or counter-clockwise for cold. So if you want a small amount of hot water, turn the handle clockwise and pull the bottom toward you slightly.

Can you control volume with is valve?

Reading other questions, I understand you can push off, pull on and left/right temperature. But I want to know if you can control water volume? If so, how? Like, for example, as you pull the water starts and the more you pull more water comes out.
Asked by: BigAl
This valve is a temperature and volume control valve. To turn the water on and adjust the volume, you would simply lift up on the handle. To adjust the water temperature, you would turn the handle left/right.

Is this valve a pull on or turn on valve? Will temperature of water be hot or cold when turned on until it can be adjusted?

Asked by: Curious
The valve is a single lever handle that pulls on and moves left or right for temperature.
