Pressure Balance Valve Trim Only
The Kingston Brass KB638ET trim kit delivers pressure-balanced temperature control for a bathtub without a shower or spout. A lever handle operates the included valve cartridge to guard against sudden temperature spikes. Traditional styling suits classic bathroom designs while the brass body provides structural rigidity.
Brass Construction Brushed Nickel Finish
Solid brass construction resists corrosion and withstands daily operation in humid environments. The brushed nickel surface hides water spots and fingerprints better than polished chrome, reducing visible maintenance. Trim-only packaging means the rough-in valve body installs first, then this decorative kit threads on for a clean finished appearance.
Pressure Balanced Anti Scald Protection
The integrated pressure balance cartridge reacts to supply pressure changes to keep outlet temperature stable during normal use. No electronics or external power are required, so operation remains silent and reliable. California Proposition 65 notices apply because the brass alloy contains listed chemicals.

Questions about this item
Does the pressure-balance valve trim meet the California Proposition 65 warning requirements?
The trim carries a Proposition 65 notice because it contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
What mounting hardware is required to install the KB638ET trim on a bathtub?
The trim is designed to fit a standard pressure-balance valve body; you supply the valve and any mounting screws or brackets that the valve manufacturer specifies.
How is the lever handle secured during installation, and what step is often missed?
The lever handle slides onto the valve stem and is fastened with a set screw; the step many installers miss is tightening that set screw fully before testing water flow.
