Review: Does The Job Well Albeit A Bit Pricey (ditch the plaster ground upon opening box though!!) - We built our home 40 years ago and used Delta/Kohler brands for kitchen and baths. I must say neither of those products have had a screwdriver touch them since placed into service. For some reason I chose Moen 2520 for our current bath remodels. It is a very nice unit and as easy as any to install. Cannot for the life of me figure out why it costs twice as much as the Delta though. And my bad, I could have got in as "open box" on eBay for about $50. The only issue with this product is the one that plagues so many purchasers. If you follow the instructions the valve handle will be sticking out a ridiculous amount from the trim plate. The solution is to fully "dry" assemble the valve with trim, then install proper backing to ensure all comes out looking good. I like to have the operating handle just clear the trim plate screws, and no more. Then.....nice looking installation!

The Moen 2520 Posi-Temp Pressure Balancing Shower Rough-In Valve will only have one handle that will control temperature. This valve doesn’t have volume control. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call us at 800-289-6636. Our current business hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 7:00 pm (Eastern Time). **Q: How do I adjust the maximum hot water temperature? Turned all the way to hot, valve produces only warm water...** A: You would have to use the Adjustable temperature limit stop to control maximum hot water temperature. I would advise calling Moen directly so one of their technicians can help you troubleshoot that. **Q: is the moen shower valve 2520 a shower only valve** A: Sorry i have this exact valve for sale and if you need i can send the plugs or adapters and instructions on how to install. Im assuming you have copper piping. If you have pex/uponor i can provide the adapters and plugs free of charge **Q: why does the shower and tub outlet both come on?** A: If the valve is installed and you you are getting water through both outlets there could be a few problems here. You need a diverter pin on your tub spout, (something to lift up) to shut the water off to the tub spout and only to the shower head. If a little water still comes through it’s okay. If it’s still a lot replace the tub spout. If you want just the water through the tub spout but you get water through the shower head too there could be two issues, you can try to replace the cartridge (moen 1222) or the piping in the wall is not 1/2” copper and the installer put pex from the valve to the tub spout which restricts the flow. From the valve to the spout can only be copper. Or the other reason is that valve itself is installed upside down. The top of the valve that goes to the shower head is labeled “UP” take a look for that as well. Hope this helps! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does The Job Well Albeit A Bit Pricey (ditch the plaster ground upon opening box though!!) *by S***Y on December 8, 2023* We built our home 40 years ago and used Delta/Kohler brands for kitchen and baths.

This product is very well made but before purchasing it is important to know if you have copper pipes, if you do you would need to purchase this 2520 Pressure Balancing Valve (Copper connections are typically soldered). Otherwise the Moen 2510 Posi-Temp Pressure Balancing Tub and Shower Valve that has an IPS (Iron Pipe Size) and is threaded would be the correct one for you to purchase. Both models have 1/2 " connections and both come with Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty for residential use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Moen Posi-Temp Pressure Balancing Shower Rough-In Valve, 1/2-Inch CC Connection, 2520 - Moen Chateau Chrome Posi-Temp Eco-Performance Shower Trim Kit with Showerhead, Shower Handle, and Tub Spout, Valve Required, TL2369EP - Moen Chateau Chrome Eco-Performance Shower Trim Set, Featuring Showerhead and Shower Lever Handle with Escutcheon (Posi-Temp Valve Required), TL2368EP --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5085516-moen-positemp-rough-in-pressure-balancing-shower-valve-1-2](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5085516-moen-positemp-rough-in-pressure-balancing-shower-valve-1-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
