I am redoing my bathroom shower. The original shower from 1987 was a two handled shower. I didn’t realize that was no longer legal in California. So I purchased a very expensive showerhead and two handled set. Unfortunately there was no notification on the website about compliance. My contractor said he cannot use it. The manufacturer insists that it’s fine if I install a remote pressure balancing valve. The contractor says the building inspector won’t pass it even if we do that.
The manufacturer is charging me a 25% restocking fee. I believe they should have known it is not compliant and at least alerted me that this would be an issue. They are a California company, by the way.
They are still insisting that I should not have any problem.
I’m not willing to tile in a valve that won’t pass inspection but I am curious if they’re right, that I could just get the valve at Home Depot. (They don’t make such a valve).
thanks for any help you can offer.
