My kohler thermostatic valve states that the bottom out is for a tub spout only I was going to hook my body sprays there.. But I will do what the instructions state
1. If the bottom will not be connected to a tub spout, it must be plugged
What do you use to plug it? The valve takes in threaded pieces, do I get a brass threaded nipple + cap and screw it all together with the plumbers tape? Or do you get something that's threaded on one end and terminated on the other?
2. Install water arrestors
The thermostatic valve doesn't have a shutoff, it needs to be used with volume control valves, should I install the arrestors on a Copper T before each control valve? Or should I install the arrestors where ever it is easiest?
It would be ideal to install them somehere that I can get to if they die and I uses threaded arrestors..... But it doesn't matter that much,. Never had an issue with water hammers before
