If you do not want to take the chance on getting either a blast of hot or cold water, then you should have the balancer on any shower assembly. : : : There are several companies that make them. That one should fulfil the requirement. : : : : I'm remodeling my bathroom, and want to use one of those antique '2 handle' exposed shower fittings with the rose head. : : : : My plumber is nervous, telling me that code requires a pressure balanced valve. My research has located an in-line pressure balance valve (called Tempera at www.pppinc.com). Could I use this to provide the same function? Or would this still be in violation of code? I live in Southern California, if that matters. : : Richard, : Thanks. I am reassured. : I have one last question - if I have a hand-held shower head on the tub faucet, do I need one of these valves on the tub as well as the shower? : Richard
