“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.”
“easy to install, almost idiot proof. the directions say loosen the screw then pull on the adjustment knob and turn it to adjust water temp. should also say how far to loosen the screw. I found out it has to be loosened up almost all the way. which is over a half inch.”
“This valve is a nicely machined part. I like the built in unions and check valves - makes installation a lot easier. Only time will tell if the thermostatic element will last (most of the previous brands that I have installed lasted only about 3 years.) This model allows me to adjust it to meet the new code ( < = 120 degrees). The AM100C1070-US-1LF range 70-120 could not be set greater than about 105 degrees - and everyone complained about the "cold" water.”
