This valve is more than just for delivering hot and cold water. It's a whole system. And it's ingeniously engineered for simplicity of installation while delivering a very robust, firm installation of both handles and faucet body. Seriously they're not going anywhere! The push-to-fit connections on the ends of the tubing have been leak-free thus far, and make installation and potentially removal much simpler. The only thing I don't like about this valve system is the screw which connects the drain lever rod to the drain lever itself and which goes up through the faucet can foul on the tubing or horse-shoe shaped spacer / bracket making adjustment more complicated than it needs to be. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this Moen system!
