Nobody likes replacing shower valves, but this one went in as expected. In operation it is smooth to adjust, turns off solidly, and fit well with the Devonshire Rite-Temp Shower Valve Trim with Lever Handle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install *by on Reviewed in the United States January 31, 2025* Easy to install and easy to adjust water temperature ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Perfectly *by on Reviewed in the United States June 3, 2023* How can you go wrong with a Kohler product? We recently remodeled our shower. Our contractor told us this was an excellent choice of shower valve. Functions as advertised. ## Frequently Bought Together - KOHLER 8304-K-NA Rite-Temp Pressure-Balancing Valve Body and Cartridge Kit, Shower Valve System - KOHLER K-7397-BN Showerarm and Flange, 7-1/2-Inch Long, Vibrant Brushed Nickel --- ## 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/60466867-kohler-8304-k-na-rite-temp-pressure-balancing-valve-body](https://www.desertcart.us/products/60466867-kohler-8304-k-na-rite-temp-pressure-balancing-valve-body) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
