Kingston Brass KB46310DL Pressure Balancing Shower Valve

Product Description

The KINGSTON BRASS KB46310DL is a pressure-balancing tub and shower valve with integral stops, finished in polished chrome. Pressure-balancing valves maintain a consistent water temperature by equalizing hot and cold supply pressures, protecting users from sudden temperature swings caused by toilet flushes or appliance draws. The integral stops allow the water supply to be shut off at the valve for service without cutting off the whole line. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers during new construction, remodel rough-in, or fixture replacement in residential bathrooms.

This valve is suited for residential tub and shower applications where a single-lever or knob trim will be applied over the rough-in body. The pressure-balancing mechanism meets standard scald-protection requirements common in residential plumbing codes. The polished chrome finish is compatible with a wide range of trim kits designed for pressure-balancing rough-in bodies. Install location is typically in the wet wall between hot and cold supply stubs.

Key Features

• Pressure-balancing cartridge prevents sudden hot or cold temperature shifts during supply pressure changes
• Integral stops allow in-line shutoff for service without isolating the branch supply
• Polished chrome finish for corrosion resistance and compatibility with standard trim kits
• Single-lever compatible rough-in body designed for residential tub and shower installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction rough-in valve for residential tub and shower pressure-balancing systems. Consult trim kit documentation to confirm rough-in body compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing code and IPC requirements for pressure-balancing valves in shower and tub applications. Shut off the hot and cold water supply lines completely before beginning any work on the valve body. Use the integral stops when servicing the trim or cartridge after initial installation. Do not overtighten supply connections to the valve inlets, as this can crack the valve body or damage sealing surfaces.
