“It works well, solid construction! Though the physical size is just a few millimeters short of the older models, you may not be able to do a quick swap with an older unit.”
“I used this product with an electric hot water heater and it has worked well. One of the features that I really like is the built-in unions. That way, if the valve ever fails (or you botch the installation) you can detach the threaded connection and fix the issue.”
“I do not have hard or problem water, and yet I seem to replace these valves every two years. It is easy to replace, but who needs to be dropping a hundred bucks on a mixing valve every other year.”
