Kingston Brass KB242AL Tub Shower Valve Polished Brass

Product Description

The KINGSTON BRASS KB242AL is a two-handle tub and shower valve finished in polished brass. It controls both hot and cold water supply to tub and shower fixtures, using separate lever handles for precise temperature and flow adjustment. This valve is designed for residential bathroom installations and is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or fixture replacement projects. The polished brass finish provides a classic, durable surface suited to traditional and transitional bathroom decors.

The KB242AL fits standard tub and shower rough-in applications in residential bathrooms. It is suited for use in single-family homes and multi-unit residential projects where a two-handle lever configuration is specified. Installers working on bathroom remodels or new builds will find this valve appropriate for standard plumbing rough-in configurations. No specific compatible model families were named in the product data.
