Bought it a while ago, glad I finally got to install it. I had to do a little soldering and I put in a couple of shark-bite valves on the cold and hot inputs so that I can shut off and easily work on it in the future. Had to have some kind of coupler anyway. But, back to the point, this valve body looks like it will last a good long time. Only the cartridge will have to be replaced if it wears out.
