Newport Brass 1-500u Wall Mount Tub Faucet Valve

Product Description

The NEWPORT BRASS 1-500u is a wall mount tub faucet valve designed for use in bathtub fill applications where a clean, wall-mounted installation is required. This valve serves as the core flow-control component in a wall mount tub faucet assembly, managing hot and cold water supply to the tub spout. Licensed plumbers and journeymen installers typically handle this type of valve installation in both new construction and remodel settings where the rough-in and trim work are coordinated to meet local plumbing code requirements.

This valve is suited for residential bathtub installations where a wall mount faucet configuration is specified. Wall mount tub valves are common in freestanding tub setups and built-in tub surrounds where supply lines are routed through the wall rather than a deck or floor. This component works within a complete faucet assembly, typically paired with trim kits and a tub spout to complete the finished installation.

Key Features

• Wall mount configuration routes supply connections through the wall for a clean finish
• Designed as a tub faucet valve body for bathtub fill applications
• Compatible with NEWPORT BRASS trim and spout components sold separately
• Built for durability in daily residential use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style valve body for use within the NEWPORT BRASS wall mount tub faucet system; specific trim compatibility should be confirmed with NEWPORT BRASS product documentation prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of this wall mount tub faucet valve should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply to the work area and relieve line pressure before beginning any valve installation or connection work. Confirm rough-in dimensions and wall depth requirements against the valve body specifications before closing the wall. Do not overtighten compression or threaded connections, as this can damage valve seats and sealing surfaces.
