Kingston Brass KB635 Pressure Balancing Shower Valve

Product Description

The KINGSTON BRASS KB635 is a pressure-balancing shower valve designed for single-lever trim operation in residential and light commercial shower systems. Pressure-balancing valves maintain a consistent water temperature by equalizing hot and cold supply pressures, protecting against sudden scalds or cold shocks when another fixture is used elsewhere in the system. The KB635 features an oil rubbed bronze finish, giving it a dark, antiqued appearance suited to period-style or transitional bathroom designs. Licensed plumbers and finish plumbers are the primary installers of this valve.

This valve is intended for in-wall shower installations where a single-lever control manages both volume and temperature. It is typically rough-in compatible with standard North American shower valve bodies and is suited for residential bathroom remodels and new construction where a pressure-balancing valve is required by code. The oil rubbed bronze finish coordinates with matching trim collections for a unified look at the shower wall plate and handle.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes, which typically require pressure-balancing valves in all shower and tub-shower combination applications. Shut off the water supply to the work area and relieve line pressure before beginning rough-in work. Solder or press connections should be made before the valve body is installed to avoid heat damage to internal components. After installation, verify proper pressure balancing function before closing the wall.
