If you are doing a replacement Do you need a valve?

If you are replacing the control in addition to the shower head, you need to have a valve that matches. So, yes, you'll need to buy a matching valve. I made the mistake of not buying a new valve, until the plumber doing the installation said he couldn't put this control onto my old valve.

It was not difficult to remove the old valve. The new valve is exactly the same size, it fit perfectly. If you have NEVER done any "do it yourself" type plumbing work try to get some who has had done "some" plumbing work. You do not need a plumber, just some one who does work with his hands.

Unfortunately no .... I wanted to replace the valve because it's so hard to clean and mold will build. I end up ordering the whole set again and throwing away the old valves. I will keep the lid and top just because sometimes they will break in a fall ... Plus I like to mismatch the colors.

I was having my bathroom remodeled and yes this was a replacement. I believe I did by the valve kit and if you don't use it return it. I had a contractor install mine. I like the style of this shower head but has low pressure and may have a water restricted which Im checking mine and will take it out .

No. I had to order vent pipe also. However I didn't need to order water valves. It came with all valves necessary to attach to the heater. Good luck! I love mine.

Absolutely, You will need a new multiport valve and may have to do some replumbing.

It probably depends upon whether the existing valve is compatible and only your plumber can tell you. And, if it does and you don't have one on hand and plumber has to come back, then you may get charged for that call. You have to decide how you need to handle it. You might get input from plumber if you are having one do the installation. The faucet portion requires sweating it (soddering) so ... if you are not comfortable with that, probably best to have a plumber do it ... but that is the separate issue. As a side note I really like this shower unit!!

If you are referring to the valve, you can get a nice stainless one from lowes or any hardware store, take it off and take it with you

A pressure relief valve, which was not included and I can't find one locally, so I asked the company for advise, but so far they have NOT answered.

No you don't need a valve just don't let the pump run when the day cools off or cold water will be pumped in...

No you do not need one at the faucet. I installed one at the faucet as a safeguard and it lowered the pressure too low.

No, Just the tire. You can pick up a valve for a few dollars at wal-mart or any auto parts store. Just bring your old one to be absolutely sure you get the right size.

Great question! We believe the valve is fully accessible and there are replacement parts. The valve is ordered with the trim (handle and plate) not embedded into the iBox. It's a pretty brilliant design. Grohe is now offering a similar set up.We had a question about accessing the stops and a live person answered the 800-number and walked us through the process. They also guided us to the latest installation manual as we had received an old one from the Amazon seller. It all worked out great!

no. the bracket is optional. i did not use one. my install went as planned. my advise: 1. besure to install 3 valves for a by- pass. 2. spend an extra $10 for a pressure gauge since filter body is opaque (not clear). this is installed post filter to monitor pressure differential from line side. helps when to determine filter change time. 3. allow enough bottom clearance to drop filter body and install replacement or install 20 plus inch body and cartridge. 4. use wraps of teflon tape as instructed plus couple additional ( tape is cheap) leaks are not desirable. be sure to use silicone ( vegetable) grease on seal and housing threads so seal doesnt dry outadv no. the bracket is optional. i did not use one. my install went as planned. my advise: 1. besure to install 3 valves for a by- pass. 2. spend an extra $10 for a pressure gauge since filter body is opaque (not clear). this is installed post filter to monitor pressure differential from line side. helps when to determine filter change time. 3. allow enough bottom clearance to drop filter body and install replacement or install 20 plus inch body and cartridge. 4. use wraps of teflon tape as instructed plus couple additional ( tape is cheap) leaks are not desirable. be sure to... » Read More no. the bracket is optional. i did not use one. my install went as planned. my advise: 1. besure to install 3 valves for a by- pass. 2. spend an extra $10 for a pressure gauge since filter body is opaque (not clear). this is installed post filter to monitor pressure differential from line side. helps when to determine filter change time. 3. allow enough bottom clearance to drop filter body and install replacement or install 20 plus inch body and cartridge. 4. use wraps of teflon tape as instructed plus couple additional ( tape is cheap) leaks are not desirable. be sure to use silicone ( vegetable) grease on seal and housing threads so seal doesnt dry outadv « Show Less
