Premium KES Chrome 10-Inch Rain Shower System with Tub Spout & Handheld Spray - Pressure Balance Bath Shower Faucet Set (Model XB6305F18-CH) for Luxurious Spa-Like Bathroom Experience

Redoing the bathroom as I write this. Only 1 bath in the house so have to do the remodel in sections. I've been a contractor for nearly 30years. Recently installed a similar name brand fixture from a umbing supply house that cost $1500. This KES unit stands up to the name brand if not exceeds.1st: I read the reviews and the complaints, saw that some of the fitting on the fixture may be smaller than typical fittings. What I did to make sure this didn't happen was I put pipe dope on first than a layer of teflon tape.2nd: I read the directions. They are limited, but looking at the diagram they show exactly how all the measurements for the placement should be laid out and installed.3rd: I pressure tested the valve first woth caps. Then I proceeded to pipe the fixtures then pressure tested each on at the rough in stage. Then, pressure tested the whole system before I closed in the walls.The unit looks really sharp, it's been in for a week. No water hammer issues as I've read about. I prob wouldnt put this in a 2nd bath on a 2nd floor for thay reason. Better safe than sorry there. However, I am extremely impressed by how the unit was packaged. The one downfall was that the male fittings are on on the fixtures and they will spin if you overnighter. Same thing as the valve, pipe dope, Teflon and hand tight. The box for the valve for rough in is a nice touch however if anything does go wrong with the valve there's no way to fix it from behind the tile and the box has to be ripped out. Really like the look, pressure, and feel of this set up.
