KohlerK-11748-KS-NA Rite-Temp Valve with Diverter

We have always been very happy with Kohler products. The quality is top notch. We had all our fixtures picked out for our master bathroom remodel. We had planned on purchasing them from a highend Kohler storefront located near us. We were going to have to wait several weeks for some of the items to arrive. We were able to order the exact same items from Amazon and get them much faster and at a better price!

This valve has everything you want.Pros:1. Shutoff for both hot and cold feeds so that the valve can be repaired without shutting off the main valve to the house.2. Integrated diverter to control 2 outputs.3. Max temperature setting to avoid scalding.4. Easily understood lever markings (on trim not included) for hot and cold. So many valve kits don't have this.5. Both screw on and solder connections available.6. Its big and well built.Cons:1. Its big. It fills the entire 3.5" space between walls, so if you have an obstruction, then study it before buying this.2. Its heavy. So soldering copper to the ports takes a long time, and ALL removable pieces with plastic or rubber should be removed before doing this. This includes the hot/cold shutoff screws.3. Flow limiting is irritating, but common to all valves.Advice:To solder connections I took off all removable pieces and put this valve in my vice because trying to solder to these ports with the thing up against a wall board is almost certain to start a fire. It takes a long time to heat it up. I then soldered copper pipes to the ports and added as much of the final copper piping as I could before installing the whole contraption in the wall. Doing this made sure I didn't have to heat up the valve in the wall and made it possible to do four standard solder connections in the wall quickly. Even 6 inches of pipe on each port would work.

Very vice. Odd that the diverter button stem is threaded and yet the diverter button itself just slides on and uses two set screws to hold it. Oh well.

I purchased this valve. For some reason it’s not functioning. I returned it. I was in rush so I didn’t pack in original packing. Vendor charged me 50% restocking fee. I called customer service multiple times. They reached to Vendor and explained the whole situation. I was even ready to send original box that I have it but Vebdor is very adamant and not ready to accept that. Everything was within time window of return. I would not recommend to buy from this vendor.
