   I ended up ordering two of these to replace some dated and disgusting builder grade Pfister fixtures in my bathrooms. As others have noted, the install is very easy – it took longer to remove the old fixture than to install the new one. The new fixture is shiny and will show water spots, but is a huge upgrade over the original.

   While you have the old fixture off, you may as well replace the cartridge, which is an equally quick change. Remove 4 screws, pull the old cartridge out, put the new cartridge in, and replace the 4 screws. It turns out both of my old cartridges had slow leaks that were dripping behind the walls 🙁

   This is the cartridge I used: https://www.pfisteroutlet.com.com/Pfister-9740420-Pressure-Balanced-Cartridge/dp/B002CXBXNQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1527613904&sr=1-1&keywords=pfister+9740420

   I’ve been using it daily for a little over 2 years. I didn’t install it myself so I don’t know about the installation process. It was heavy and felt sturdy when it took it out of the box to look at it. It works great, is easy to clean, haven’t had any leaks and still looks great. I love it.

   Installed this in an old shower that I regrouted and updated hardware on.
   This looks MUCH better than the old glass doorknob-style valve hardware I had before.
   This new handle has a great fit, no excessive play, and gives my shower a sleek modern look.

   Installation was easy, the only tool I needed was a screwdriver.
   However, I would recommend wearing a glove when threading on the brass cartridge adapter ring, as the thread grooves on mine were a bit sharp.

   This particular Trim kit is a substantial heavy duty trim. It was exactly what I needed to give my shower a newer more modern look. A heavy machined handle not some cheap plated plastic. Does not come with anything other than the valve trim but that’s all I needed. I bought two as I upgraded two showers.

   This thing is quality. It has a heavy duty, but luxury feel to it. The lever turns so freakin’ smoothly. Simple style, but not overly modern. Was an excellent buy.

   This handle feels super heavy duty and substancial! It does not feel cheap and flimsy when manipulating. the handle. What an awesome upgrade!

   Installation is easy with no need for sealant. I used silicon grease on the threads when installing in tyhe hope that when time goes by the removal is easier if need be!

   Just installed and used it for less than 2 months and the “decorative string ?” shown on picture here has broken. Hope the water won’t leak from it. Love the modern look of the handle but wish the quality was better than the look 🙁

   This replaced the old, round, plastic knob in my shower. We liked the look, feel, and function (makes adjusting the temp easier) so much, I ordered another one for downstairs bath. Users like it so much, I’m going to order another for the last shower upstairs. The brushed nickel has the look and feel of quality. The adapter included fits the Pfister valve bodies 0X8, JX8, TX8 and VB8.

    This product was exactly as I expected. It was a good weight, nice chrome colour, twisted smoothly, no wiggly parts.

    The reason why I gave it 3 stars and not 5 is because there was mildew/mould inside the handle where the valve fits in. I asked for a replacement and the same issue occurred. We’ve had a humid summer, so maybe the products are sweating in the boxes within the warehouse, I don’t know. I was able to wipe most of it out, but it was still annoying.

    I would buy this product again and do recommend it, as long as you don’t mind a bit of cleaning.

    Part was used – with dried black and green gunk residue on the inside. Looks like someone recycles returned or used parts.

    I like this model, and it looks great. I have no regrets, and the flat-black is very striking and very modern looking. Ok, all that said… if you have hard water, be prepared for a lot of maintenance. My hard water leaves spots that are way more noticeable on flat-black than they would on chrome or brushed aluminum. You will be wiping down frequently. I keeep a gallon of vinegar in my bathroom and use it to wipe down my black fixture once.a week, or they will start to look very spotty. This is not the product’s fault. It comes with having a combination of hard water and black fixtures. .
