WE MESSED UP THIS PLUMBING VALVE!!!-- Santec Thermostatic Shower Valve
Most of the time we use Delta, Brizo, Moen, Kohler, Hansgrohe, etc. but sometimes homeowners like to pick out their own plumbing. What can happen is they end up with an obscure brand that can be much more difficult to install. Waterworks, Newport Brass, Rohl, and Santec are a few that we have encountered that usually have bad instructions and/or bad technical support leaving us to try and figure out how to install them. That is what happened to us on this particular plumbing fixture and we had to come back to perform a bush fix to make it work correctly. We used a Santec thermostatic shower valve with a volume control. The rough in part number is SANTEC ESTATE TH-8212 and the finish trim part number is SANTEC ESTATE 7096BL10-TM Britani. I highly discourage anyone from installing these valves, due to the very tight tolerances and difficulty of installation. On top of that, I left 3 messages with technical support and never got a call back. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video!
