for rough in valve R2707, what is the drill bit that I need to buy and distance from the valve to the spout? The valve is on order now.

The installation instructions refer to two different scenarios concerning hole sizes to drill. One if you're going to install the faucet thru a finished deck and the other if you're going to install tile after rough in. The former says to drill 1.5 " holes and install from underneath deck. The latter says to drill 2.0" holes, install rough in onto sub deck using supplied screws (from above) and then tile around cardboard tubes. I personally will have 5.5" between spout and valve center to center. . 4" is min. 8" is max

The 3 holes need to be 1 1/2" wide. There is flexible tubing provided, so you can space them as desired. Our valves are spaced 8" apart.

The instructions are pretty clear and tell you the size and distance that you are asking about. Basically if your finished deck is less than 2.5 inches thick (that is plywood, cement board not including tile) it is a 1.5 inch hole and you will decide the center from 8-16 inches (from one valve to the other). For decks thicker than 2.5 inches, they recommend a 2 inch hole. If you are cutting through ceramic or porcelain tile, I highly recommend buying a diamond carbide hole saw bit for your drill to make clean holes. Buy a normal hole saw to cut through your cement board and/or plywood to save the life of your diamond carbide hole saw.

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P; valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

I actually purchased the angled valve in error. I had to order the standard valve instead. Hope this helps.Marc

We put in two of these in two different bathrooms in 2014. I'm 99.9% certain the rough in valves came with the package. Our plumber installed and I did the finish plumbing. I can probably find the paperwork that came with it if you can't deal with 0.1% uncertainty. - Tim

I believe that is the same as I had, also. I checked everywhere for the valve and no one had it. I found out it is no longer made. They worked beautifully! You just would have to take the chance that yours will too! I found they super easy to replace! My old valve were so bad that I couldn't even use the spigot! Good luck!

I wish I could answer your question. So far, I have tried every search, been to Lowe's and Ace (They usually have every answer) and so far I am coming up with nothing. I bought the Blue Source at the C-co and didn't realize I had a 3" valve and that the unit wouldn't fit until halfway through the install. I'm not giving up yet though.

I just checked mine to be sure...It's 180 degrees, so make sure you rough-in your valve assembly far enough away so the handle doesn't hit the faucet. I roughed-in mine at 7 inches from center of valve to center of spout.

Rough in valves come with the set. If not I can not advise you. Call the manufacturer and ask them.

I can not find a size listed on the drill bit. Sorry for not being any help.

How did you crush the diverted? Anyway, go to Homedepot and ask customer service. Tell them you have a claw foot tub and they should be able to find what you need. Take the faucet and components with you. That's important so they can see the size diverted you need. Never over tighten anything and always use thread tape. Best of luck hope this helps!

I used the timesert set to repair my brembo clipers on my wrx sti. The kit comes with the correct drill bit for the included tap. Just get the next size bigger than the hole you currently have. I would measure the depth though because the insert needs to be the correct length to match the depth of the threaded boss on an oil pan. The depth of the insert needs to match the depth of the threaded hole.

I bought 2 of them, the one I have in use is working great (for over a year now) My Crock is almost 1/2" thick & the stem of the valve had plenty of length. The Diameter of the threaded part is 3/4" & the length of the threaded part is 1" (although the last 1/16" is not threaded so one might say you have 11/16" to work with). I'm happy with my valves (one of them is just a back-up, because the cost was not much more & I was already having to pay for shipping). You might want to use just a little vaseline to lube the gasket, but maybe that was a waist on my part. Best to you. Adios.

FTM is correct. You should replace the rubber seal. A box end wrench will slide over the spout to the nut.

Can't measure the valve. Pipe inlet/exit holes are .625dia (5/8") and 1/2" NPT thread.

This is what I would do. Go to the hardware store, get a brass spigot a couple of plastic or rubber gaskets (washers) and a nut that fits the back of the spigot and install it on the barrel. I hope you received the plug that goes into the extra hole. good luck

We sold and moved out of the house we had installed three of these in three bathroom vanities. We used them because of narrow width marble topped vanities at the suggestion of the marble seller and installer. I would suggest that you go to the Kohler website for tech specs on drilling as I could not answer your question any more definitively at this point. I hope you find what you need there!! We did very much like the look of those faucets though and found them to be a great price here!
