Why is this valve not approved by plumbing inspectors?

I've used a couple of these in retro-fits. I don't know why they wouldn't be approved unless they don't have an IAPMO stamp.

I agree. I'm installing a bidet and the old valve won't shut the water off completely. Bought this locally and was clueless about the instructions which are 6 pictures no text. 1) cut pipe 2) Use a special deburring tool and length guide 3) mark the pipe according to the tool 4/5) Insert pipe/connecter 6) how to remove with another special tool. If I hadn't watched some YouTube videos, it would be nonsense. I've also read numerous reviews saying the plastic insert is optional for copper.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe your counter is higher than typical 32" bathroom counter or wall valves lower. Plumber are notorious for put things where ever they feel like it. The only standard they seem to all do is waste line for WC at 12" off the wall.Re: the faucet. It works well and looks good.

I spent months trying to find a valve that behaved like a hydraulic valve used on pipelines. Was dismayed to discover that shower valves were required to allow a small amount of flow to continue in order to keep the water the same temperature when it is turned back on. To avoid cold water shock I suppose.Finally had to buy a less attractive valve from an industrial supply store that actually performed as I wanted, meaning full off or full divert.

Why not? As long as it's not to far and go easy on the elbows. Use solid pipe and check with your inspector.

Can I tell you not to buy it? Doesn't help at all. We bought two. $630. Didn't do squat for 18x33 above ground. And no. No shut off valve

I honestly don't know. Perhaps they fixed the faucet. The one I bought still leaks like crazy and cannot be used indoors.

No check valves. I was also surprised to learn that the threads are British pipe threads, which is neat impossible to find in the US. It is, however, a quality product and maintains the set temperature.

Supplied tri-way valve is impossible to fit to my other fittings. The is a real problem here other than running very long electrical cord.

This is an *indoor* unit. It is not certified for outdoor use. Missing this point caused me a great deal of pain and cost me several hundred dollars.I do not know if the valve kit is included.

Adamak's answer is very good. We have 2 bathrooms in a seasonal beach apt. Both have these PBU valves, one of which is fine (6 yrs) and the other which failed at 2 yrs, but the replacement has been fine since (4 yrs). I'm not sure about why Adamak's building water has to be shut off to replace the valves---I have 2 shutoff screws immediately adjacent to the valve's inlets, but that may be the way my plumber fortunately set them up.

It may just be too cold so the valve shrunk. Keep it warm and if it still doesn't work try contacting customer service and see if they can help you

I did not install the valve. The trim was perfect for replacing what was existing in a rental. I would suggest turning the main off. Aloha, Sean

I had a similar problem and I contacted their company directly and they sent me a universal valve and it was all good. But remember with the universal valve the attachment method changes.

I can't comment about the codes and whether it would pass inspection, I used it for a DIY outdoor shower. But I didn't have any problems finding fittings that matched the threading. I ended up not using the 1/2" to 3/4" adapter that it came with and instead just used a 1/2" pex to 3/4" male threaded adapter because it was easier for my particular needs.

I don't know. This faucet is in a rental unit so not easy to check this. --Cheriel

No it does not. You will need to purchase that in accordance with your local plumbing regulations.
