Shower head drip gone!!!

Like several other reviewers, I bought this to fix a leaky shower faucet that was unserviceable. With several similar products to choose from, I got lucky with this one. I needed a device that would completely shut off the water, not just reduce the flow, and this one really does the job. The valve is a quarter-turn ceramic type used in many newer faucets and is therefore designed as a shutoff. My drip is completely gone, and the repair was fairly easy. The only problem I had with the installation was tightening the fitting too much the first time and cutting the rubber washer. My bad. I bought a new washer to replace the one I damaged, taking care not to crank it down too tight. Perfect!

Easy to install, works

Love it. I like to turn the water off while soaping up. Often this isn't worth doing because it's annoying to get the water back to the same temperature. This valve allows me to pause the water flow very easily. It took less than a minute to install on my delta shower. I installed it before the hose so the hose won't be subjected to high pressure. It seems to stop all water flow when closed. Some people might notice reduced water flow when open but I don't. It's only $10 but it'll probably pay for itself in reduced water usage.

Works good!

I like that once I adjust the water to where I want it at the beginning of my shower, I do not have to touch the controls again until I am finished with my shower. I like that it does not keep dripping when you slide the lever to turn the water off while you soap up. They said it would not drip and it doesn't! Depending how long you keep it turned off to soap up you might need to stand out of the way of the stream of water for a few seconds to let the water readjust to being turned back on. It is a nice way to save water.

Excellent, no trouble installation, no drip.

I replaced my old turn type valve with this. Fits and works perfectly. Yes, the shower head only goes a couple of turns and leaves the thread exposed but it's not too unsightly. Use Teflon tape on the threads and remove excess. Couple of things to watch out for - you might loose the rubber washer when opening the package and make sure you use a cloth to other soft padding when using tools. I am glad I read the reviews before buying this. Thanks to everyone who posts good unbiased reviews.

Wife couldn't be happier! And neither am I.

After suffering for years with a control valve that operated by means of a small rod to push-one-way-for-on / push-the-other-way-for-off that was hard to operate and got in the way of the wall-mount / hand-held shower selector ... this unit is a breeze to operate. It's overall length is enough to not interfere with any other control. Has a large enough selector "handle", but not large. But most importantly it is so very easy to turn full on or full off or anything in between with a flick of a finger. And it is of all metal construction. Couldn't be happier.

Fixed leaking shower head.

I had just bought house with a leaking shower head in one of the bathrooms. The seals in the faucet and shower head were old and allowing a small amount of water through. I couldn't find the valves to turn off the water (Frankenstein house) so I came up with a temporary solution. I added this to the shower head and problem solved! This valve is very solid and high quality. I definitely suggest this for any application due to it's excellent build quality and ease of use.

It works!

This was simple to install, it’s simple to use and stopped the leak I had 100% completely. No need to call a plumber to come out and tear a hole in the wall to install a new valve in my shower. Saved myself a few hundred bucks and took all of five minutes to set up. I had read other reviews that brought up a lesser water flow possibility. if you look into the throat of this valve you will see a cross-shaped plastic doohickey and I can see how that could impede the flow of water through the shower head. So, I took a pair of needle-nosed pliers and simply broke out that plastic piece before I screwed this valve into place. Voila - no impeded water flow.

This valve works great.

This valve works great. It completely stops my shower head from dripping. When you install it, make sure to tighten the allen screw if it is loose. The thumb lever fell off mine but I just need to re-install and tighten the screw.

Shuts the water off COMPLETELY!!

Fantastic shut off valve! We have an RV and use a shut off valve for the shower to shut the water off while soaping down. Conserving water when dry camping is a must, but it is always wise to conserve water in the RV. Our good valve broke and we purchased another valve from Ace hardware. Well, that was a piece of junk for it did not shut off but let a large stream of water through. I knew that Amazon would have a good product so I read all the reviews and people commented that it really worked. We are in a campground in Key Largo and with the 2 day shipping the valve arrived (Amazon's message to my phone was "its here!!") and we immediately installed it. Well it works like a champ. The water is shut off COMPLETELY! I like the lever action that pushes instead of turns. I love it and once again Amazon came to the rescue and solved my problem!!!

A water-saving bargain

This is a nice, solid, heavy unit that works as advertised. Mine will cut water flow off completely, or let it flow at pretty much full blast, or anything in between if you aren't ham-handed with the adjusting lever. One note: Although one reviewer reported installing it with just his fingers and without plumber's tape -- that didn't work for me. When I tried that it dribbled around the female end threads. I recommend plenty of Teflon tape and a wrench. That sealed it up solidly at both ends, even with the flow turned completely off. If you're tall like me, you'll notice that this lowers your shower head by about an inch, so be prepared to duck your head just a bit lower when washing your hair.
