Kingston Brass KB36380AL Pressure Balancing Shower Valve

Product Description

The KINGSTON BRASS KB36380AL is a pressure-balancing tub and shower valve with stops, finished in satin nickel. Pressure-balancing valves maintain a consistent mix of hot and cold water, protecting users from sudden temperature swings caused by pressure fluctuations elsewhere in the system. This valve is designed for in-wall installation in residential and light-commercial plumbing systems and is typically installed by a licensed plumber during new construction or a bathroom remodel.

The KB36380AL is suited for tub and shower applications where a single-lever trim style is required alongside integrated service stops. The satin nickel finish coordinates with a wide range of trim kits and fixture styles. Service stops allow the valve body to remain in place during trim or cartridge service without shutting off the main water supply to the dwelling.

Key Features

• Pressure-balancing design limits temperature fluctuation during simultaneous water draws
• Integral service stops allow in-place servicing without interrupting building water supply
• Satin nickel finish resists tarnishing and corrosion in wet environments
• Designed for single-lever trim compatibility
• Suitable for tub and shower combination or shower-only configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure-balancing valve body for residential tub and shower plumbing systems requiring integrated service stops.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning valve body installation. Ensure proper depth setting within the wall cavity before securing the valve to allow correct trim alignment. Do not overtighten supply connections; follow the fitting manufacturer guidelines for the connection type used.
