Abstract:
A shower valve replacement kit includes a plate that is circumferentially larger than a penetration in a wall though which an existing valve is accessible. A plurality of couplers is configured to couple the plate to the wall to cover the penetration. A pair of first connectors and a second connector are coupled to and in fluidic communication with a valve that is coupled to a back of the plate. Each first connector is configured to couple to a respective one of hot and cold lines to supply hot and cold water to the valve. The second connector is configured to couple to a first tube that extends from a first water dispenser. A knob that is operationally coupled to the valve is configured to be rotated by a user to actuate the valve to selectively supply the hot and cold water to the first water dispenser.

Claim (Index 1):
A shower valve replacement kit comprising:\n a plate circumferentially larger than a penetration in a wall though which an existing valve is accessible; a plurality of couplers coupled to said plate, said couplers being configured for coupling said plate to the wall such that said plate covers the penetration; a valve coupled to a back of said plate; a pair of first connectors coupled to said valve such that each said first connector is in fluidic communication with said valve, each said first connector being configured for coupling to a respective one of a hot-water line and a cold-water line for supplying hot water and cold water to said valve; a second connector coupled to said valve such that said second connector is in fluidic communication with said valve, said second connector being configured for coupling to a first tube extending from a first water dispenser positioning said valve for selectively supplying the hot water and the cold water to the first water dispenser; and a knob operationally coupled to said valve, said knob being positioned on a front of said plate wherein said knob is configured for rotating by action of a hand of a user for actuating said valve for selectively supplying the hot water and the cold water to the first water dispenser.
