Solid Brass Tub and Shower Faucet
The Kingston Brass KB538KL is a wall-mount tub and shower faucet built from solid brass with a brushed nickel finish. It uses a Duraseal washerless cartridge and connects via standard 1/2" IPS fittings. The spout delivers 7.0 GPM at 80 PSI while the showerhead flows at 1.8 GPM at the same pressure. A 5-inch diverter tub spout directs water between outlets.
Best for Single-Outlet Bathroom Updates
This fixture suits homeowners replacing an existing wall-mounted tub and shower combination with standard plumbing connections. It is not for buyers who need a separate hand shower, body sprays or a thermostatic valve. Installations requiring deck-mount hardware or non-IPS supply lines will require a different product.
Straightforward Wall-Mount Installation
The unit mounts to finished walls using 1/2" IPS supply connections common in residential plumbing. The washerless cartridge simplifies future servicing. The main complication arises when existing rough-in spacing or valve depth does not match the trim, which can require opening the wall to adjust the valve body.

Questions about this item
What plumbing connections must already be in place for the KB538KL to install?
The faucet requires standard 1/2" IPS supply connections in the wall for both hot and cold water.
Will the 7.0 GPM spout flow rate at 80 PSI work with my existing 1/2" supply lines?
Yes, the 1/2" IPS connections are designed to deliver the rated 7.0 GPM spout flow at 80 PSI.
How can I verify the diverter is functioning correctly after installation?
Turn on the water and pull the diverter knob; flow should switch cleanly from the 5" tub spout to the 1.8 GPM showerhead.
