Traditional Bathroom Fixture
This Kingston Brass tub and shower faucet suits traditional homes seeking an elegant, detailed fixture. Solid brass construction and a corrosion-resistant brushed nickel finish provide durability for long-term use. The set includes internal valve hardware and a lever handle for straightforward operation.
Cartridge and Connection Upgrade
The Duraseal washerless cartridge replaces older compression-style internals, reducing drip risk and smoothing handle motion. Standard 1/2-inch IPS connections fit existing rough-in plumbing without adapter hassles. The jump is worthwhile when a worn valve causes temperature swings or leaks.
Wall Mount Installation
Wall mount design with included valve hardware lets a competent DIYer complete the job using common tools. Ensure supply lines align with the 1/2-inch IPS ports and verify the 5-inch diverter spout reach suits the tub. Mis-measured rough-in depth is the most common cause of rework.

Questions about this item
What wall opening and pipe size does the 5-inch diverter tub spout require?
The spout connects to standard 1/2-inch IPS supply pipes and mounts flush to the finished wall surface.
How do I install the Duraseal washerless cartridge and what step is commonly missed?
Insert the cartridge into the valve body, secure the retaining nut, then attach the lever handle; the step often missed is testing for leaks before closing the wall.
Which parts will need replacement over time and how often?
The Duraseal cartridge and showerhead flow restrictor are the main wear items; expect to service the cartridge every several years and clean the restrictor annually.
