My PlumbingStuff B3100 3 ⅜-Inch Centers Clawfoot Tub Faucet with Ceramic Cartridges & ¼-Turn Ball-Valve Diverter - Diverter Bathcock - Faucet Replacement - Solid-Brass Chrome-Plated - ¾ Male IPS Inlet

Very nice piece. Easy to change out only needed adjustable wrench. Riser for shower fit fine.

Perfect fit finish and operation is spot on way better quality than the old faucet. Well deserving of 5 stars! Delivered with in 24 hours!👍

In the mid-90’s I installed an earlier edition of this faucet which had donut washer valves and a vertically sliding gate for water diversion from tub faucet to shower riser. After decades of use the flow rate gradually diminished to an unacceptable level. The shower head only dribbled. After dismantling and cleaning overnight in acid to clear away hard water deposits: no improvement. So this new value was purchased and installed. It has 1/4 turn cartridge valves and a ball valve for diverting water flow from tub faucet to shower riser. Tad ah!!! Better than original water flow rate from previous valve, and no leakage of water flow through faucet when ball valve turned to divert water to shower riser. I’m glad to have spent the extra $10 to get the ball valve diverter version of this faucet instead of the vertically sliding gate diverter. If one has an old claw foot bathtub with 3-3/8” hot-cold valve centers, this is an outstanding value with unsurpasssble performance.

my old add on shower needed (.40 cent) rubber washers replaced about 1x year which was easy enough but the diverter valve was always leaky and got worse over time. unfortunately, replacement diverter valves did NOT workso i was happy to see this model with ceramic cartridges and most importantly- BALL Valve diverter.this unit does not come with a gasket and needs plumbers putty for a watertight seal plus the putty helps to keep the unit in place while securing the unit.installed it a few days ago and the ball valve diverter is amazing- it diverts ALL the water! the ceramic cartridges work well- no rubber washers to replace.i don't see if there are replacement cartridges available- i have hard water and find ceramic cartridges need to be replaced at some point in time.why 4 instead of 5 stars?i was so impressed with the first one, i bought another one right away for a second bathroom but the second unit was not as nice, the finish was off with metal burs on the handles and downspout- the second unit will be returned.and the diverter handle on both seem a little loose/delicate- but i still LOVE the ball valve.i am just careful to turn the handle gently and may just keep it diverted so not mess with the handle too much- another reviewer shows a picture of a broken diverter handle.

Works well

Easy install

Had this faucet installed on our clawfoot tub and we couldn't be happier with it. Very well constructed and the ball valve diverter is a game changer! Solid components, easy to adjust water temp knobs, no drips at all!

This type of fixture used to be expensive and often problematic, this model looks to have changed that in good fashion. Nothing flashy, just straight function and that it does.Installation was simple as it can be, in my case right up against a wall with little room, but the parts all threaded up well and took a reasonable amount of torque without issue. The shower raiser fitting has a seal installed, I added a little Teflon tap to just the tip of the raiser pipe, no leaks.The twist diverter is a nice improvement over the constantly malfunctioning pull-up push-down type, and might just last a while longer.The quarter turn valves make for quick operation but leave enough play for accurate temperature adjustment between the hot and cold valves.I'm very much pleasantly pleased with this fixture and would suggest it to anyone looking.
