Two-Handle Tub and Shower Valve Assembly

What is this?

This is a complete 8-inch center-to-center tub and shower valve body assembly. It is a heavy-duty mechanical unit designed for behind-the-wall installation, providing reliable water mixing and flow control for standard bathroom fixtures.

What does it do?

• Dual-Handle Water Control: Features a traditional two-handle design that allows for independent, precise adjustment of hot and cold water to reach your desired temperature.

• Classic Compression Technology: Utilizes compression stems, a time-tested mechanical design known for its reliability and ease of maintenance. When the handle is turned, it compresses a rubber washer against a brass seat to stop the water flow completely.

• Smooth Diverter Action: Designed for "two-way" use, meaning it can supply water to both a tub spout and a showerhead. The flow is typically managed by a diverter located on the tub spout (sold separately) or via the valve's internal bypass.

• Verve Style Hardware: Equipped with Verve-style handles, which offer a classic, tiered aesthetic and an ergonomic grip that is easy to turn even with soapy hands.

• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: The exposed trim features a high-luster polished chrome finish, providing a clean look that resists tarnishing and matches standard bathroom hardware.

Will it fit my needs?

This valve is designed for 8-inch fixed centers, which is the standard spacing for many traditional tub and shower installations. If you are performing a full bathroom renovation or replacing a failed valve body, this unit provides a durable, all-brass foundation. It is particularly well-suited for those who prefer the tactile feel and simple repairability of manual compression valves over modern single-lever cartridges.
