Angle Simple Water Flow Control Valve, Brass Shut Off Valve for Dual Shower Faucet, RV Shower Head with Hose Flow Restrictor, Brushed Nickel

nice solution

Water flow valve works well, solid, good quality. Function is smooth when turning the valve on and off. We use it to redirect and stop the flow of water from the main shower head to the hand held shower head.

I am very pleased with this water flow control valve for water conservation. I read all the complaints before buying and based on my own use, it does not leak when screwed into my hand-held shower head. I was prepared to use plumber's tape, but I did not need it. I even backed the connection off a little so that I could have the full lever range visible from the front where I could see it as opposed to tightening it more but having the lever around the side or back. I got the brushed nickel finish and it matches my shower head very well and it looks like it is part of the shower head. It shuts the water off completely for soaping up and it maintains the water temperature. The lever is easy to move to adjust flow but we will have to see how it works after long use and possible corrosion. The other thing I like is that I can visibly see where the lever is set so I can go to that spot every time and not have to go by "feel". I got the larger lever so that soapy hands are not a problem. There were cheaper ones, but I hope to get long use from this valve.

Feel so good when you receive a product that has good reviews and it's actually true. This has the feeling of quality and durability. I had to wrap it a few times with Teflon to prevent leakage. This is because my hand held shower head is plastic. Happy with the purchase, the om/off is smooth, quality material and would recommend the purchase. I rarely say these words in a review.

I have a shower that uses the type of valve that only allows you to control the temperature... the volume of water is always at maximum. Sometimes I enjoy standing in the hot water spray for an extended period, so I wanted a way to throttle back the flow after I'm done rinsing off all the soap so it's not quite as wasteful. This inline valve solves the problem pretty well. The control slider is easy to operate, and it gives you fine control over the volume, so you can quickly and precisely adjust the flow rate during your shower. The only negatives I've found are that even at its most wide open setting it can't flow as much water as the pipe it's attached to can. If you've removed the water saver in your shower head, you'll probably see a reduction in maximum flow rate if you install this valve. It's not a huge decrease, but it's noticeable. The the other slight negative is that when you have it set to restricted flow, it produces some noise. I guess the design creates a lot of turbulence when the valve is partially closed. Overall the good outweighs the bad in this valve, and I would buy it again. I like the compact size that makes it less noticeable, and the control slider is easy to operate, even if you have soapy hands. It seems to be well made with quality materials.
