I just installed an 807 series Pfister shower valve set. These knobs are beautiful, but there is like an inch of open space. What do I do?

Sounds like you might be missing the trim rings? Basically a chrome, thin wall pipe that threads on to the valve body to cover the exposed valve stem, and an escutcheon that covers the hole in your shower surround. The handles should overlap the chrome pipe to prevent excess water entry

Try a search on amazon for "price pfister escutcheon" or "price pfister trim kit" to see what I'm talking about and if that makes sense. There are 1-piece and 2-piece escutcheons; the 2-piece will give you more adjustability.

I have the same set and have the same space between the base of the chrome on the knobs. There is a chrome flange that is made to fill the gap. It is installed by a plastic threaded tube that screws onto the valve stem and you just screw it onto the threaded tube against the shower wall and then put the knobs on after the flange. I'll see if I can get you an item # here on Amazon for what I'm referring to, if not you should be able to get them at any hardware store. Hope that helps.

you probably need an adaptor which you can easily find in the neighborhoor hardware stores. I bought this but never used it because I did not like the quality and finish. did not go well with my tub faucet which is stainless steel.

I returned it because it did not fit in my space. I don't have the dimensions, but if you find the manufacturers dimensions, add on an inch in depth because the knobs stick out.

Easily,Make the rod 1" larger than the opening and tighten it clockwise. This fixes it in place. It will be 1" larger than the opening. Then simply compess it to fit in the opening. It could not be much simpler. ....... It is patented...It does not work like other rods which you have to twist into place and have walk around your shower wall.John R.

You need to get a valve. This is what I purchased: Delta R10000-UNBXHF Multichoice Universal Shower Only Valve Body We've had this in our new shower for almost a year and we have not had any problems.

Our tub was very similar. I went to a local hardware store to get a metal pipe that would fit into the shower rod at each end, connecting to the wall. This extended the length of the shower rod out to meet the width of the tub. I did later order extra ceiling supports for stability since it only came with one.

I usually install the slide bar about 6 to 8 inches below the shower head to the left or right of the center. Put the unit together put a pencil mark on the shower wall where the top of the unit drill a hole in the center ,if you don`t find a stud when you drill it use the plastic sleeve that comes with the unit .Secure the top screw in the unit now put a level on the unit to make sure it is level . Mark the bottom flange for the screw on the wall before you drill when tight put the finish cap on each end .I hope you understand my directions and hope this was helpful. Andy C

That sounds strange and here is why. Almost all bath fixtures have either 3/4 inch or 1/2 inch pipe feeding the supply, usually 1/2 inch for the final run. So that means the 3/4 inch should be more than enough. Even than, flow restrictors as mandated by communities are almost always at the end run or device (ie. shower head). So the limitation is either 1) the supply shut off valves (they could be as small as 1/4 depending on what is used) so check these or 2) your whole house pressure regulator. If your pressure/flow is low all over, especially at a garden hose, my bet is on this device. The good news is this adjustable...just get yourself a water pressure gauge (Home Depot/Lowe's) and checkout Youtube searching for "adjusting home water pressure" and you'll b able to increase it significantly. That being said, don't go crazy or you might stress your pipes. Other than that, can't think of any other reason why it would be low. FYI, I have one and it is great..and my pipes are 1/2 inch and I am running with about 65-70 psi. Hope this helps.

Had similar problem. There is a plastic thermal limiter inside the faucet assembly - if you remove it you might enjoy better temp control. Another possibility is the plumber may not have set the hot and cold volume controls correctly

No, I was concerned about the same thing. they jut out far enough that at least with the hoses we use, we have plenty of clearance. Our hoses sit pretty flush, though. You might get a little rubbing when you're turning the valves on & off if you're using a hose with a large lip.

What Kyle and Mun said, usually ceiling mounted shower heads are larger diameter as well. This is probably not what you want for a ceiling application.

Try tightening it all the way. Make sure you use plumber's tape when you install it. I tightened mine pretty tight and haven't had a problem with the main or hand-held shower heads moving

You don't need any extra room. The handle stays in the upright position or pulls forward toward the sink (never back). To control the flow, it pulls to the right. I love my Moen and consider it the best faucet I have ever had. You will LOVE it. Good luck

We have no problem. I think that's a question for your plumber or whoever installed it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Can't help you. I never used mine - my shower head was bigger than the opening on the holder. I ordered two different holders and neither fit. Just made a bad purchase.

I believe this video illustrates what the problem is (water pipes are spaced wider than TimeOut entry ports) and how to address it (extension elbows). A little more DIY involved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXY7TmaNjIk

I wanted the Grohe 19 347 000 Essence Pressure Balance Valve Trim, and was told by a plumber that I have to order the corresponding Grohe valve in order to install it. I know that your question is the reverse, but I hope that this may help, it is all I know. I haven't had the plumber install it yet because the tiles shower walls are still on order.
