currently have a push/pull valve for turning on the water. will this still work? will we have to get inside the wall to change any existing parts?

Unfortunately you will have to get inside the wall to change the internal parts but it will be worth it. Product performs well and looks great once installed.

You can do it but you have to be quick to change out the valves. Best thing I can tell you is remove the old and immediately install the new valve assembly without attaching the hoses. Make sure the valves are in the closed position. I did mine this way and was able to keep the water loss fairly minimal.

you will need a pressure switch, dont think the tank comes with one, otherwise normal plumbing connections, maybe a plumber if you are not familiar with the application

As long as the old one is 110 volts AC, any intermittent duty water valve will do the job. Both parts look exactly the same, but there may be minor differences that might require a fitting adapter or some modification to the mounting bracket. Any differences in the two should be easy to get around.

Yes, the only problem that we ran into was there was no solid support for the hot and cold valves to be wall mounted unless you customized it behind the wall. Other than that it works with standard fittings that you can get from your local Home Depot

I assume you are replacing the cracked unit with a new one that is identical in revision. If so, there should be no reason you cannot use existing wiring and control. I would replace the waterline, though.

Unless you get to the existing plumbing and valve from the back (wall on the other side of the tiles), you will have to take out a few tiles around the existing valve to remove it and attach connectors that will connect to the two lines of this unit. I was able to do that and then I left the hole open since it gets covered by this unit

You will probably have to change the length of the pipe coming out of the wall. It is usually easy, make sure you use galvanized pipe. Be careful not to break the spout screwing it on. Side spout doesn't turn.

You will need a valve and the trim (or handle) for that valve. You should be able to use this with just about any valve/trim, but keep in mind that it's meant to be used with a wall outlet that's not necessarily the existing spigot for your current shower head (assuming you are remodeling here...). Check out the pics on the "Hansgrohe 01850181 3/4-Inch iBox" product page here on Amazon to see what the internal plumbing should look like.

I'll say yes it should...barring other possible problems. In most cases the cartridge gets old and makes it difficult to operate the valve, especially if the existing one is all brass.I replaced 3 valves in my house (two showers and a sink) and it made them all operate very smooth. Keep in mind if the existing cartridge is all brass, it could be extremely difficult to remove. Amazingly I had little problem removing one of mine even though it had to be around 20-30 years old.

if you get the 1 1/2 to 2 your 2 will go on the OD of the valve . If you get the other it will go on the inside. Im sure both will work. I would go the bigger size so the water is not necking down when it goes through the valve

No. You'd have to get a separate valve for that. I've seen them for $10 at hardware stores, very small & push-button operation.

That's gonna be hit and miss. Turn off the water and listen for the internal valve to "click" as you approach and adjust accordingly. If you don't already have the unit, that will be tough.

Your existing diverter should be ok. However, you should consider its age and if your doing any plumbing. The cost of a new valve is minimal.

Joanne is wrong, sorry. The screen and rubber washer are just that. A screen to keep the inevitable small sand and particles normal in waterlines to keep from clogging further down stream. Only way I can see to increase flow is to drill out venturi in white plastic swivel section. Leave the screen in. I went ahead and tried to drill it out, and works fine. Hole size a received is a little less than 1/8" and I stepped up to 11/64". That's not a huge change, Works fine and did increase flow some.

Sally, Yes. My reason is this: If you are replacing a old timer with new, the component parts down stream --the electronically-operated valves -- don't care what kind of timer you are using. For all "they" care, it could be a timer from another manufacturer. You are good to go! The only semi-difficult part of installation is getting the wiring correct when you make the transfer. I took a picture to use as a guide. Also, change the internal 9 volt back-up battery once a year. That will keep your programmed settings in memory if there's a power failure. Cheers, Jerry

You need a water spout that can be removed from the wall. The pole fits with the water spout. If you can remove old one you should be good to go.
