This is a great tub filler and video but this video DOES NOT really show how to install it. More accurately stated the title of this video should have been: How to Assemble the freestanding tub filler. The trickiest part of the entire installation of this tub filler is the installation of the "valve body" (i.e., valve floor anchor with leveler bubble )shown at 1:28. This particular tub filler design is not intended for installation directly on the floor or on a concrete slab but is actually designed to be mounted "below" the surface of the floor. NOTE: This becomes more evident at 3:02 in the video when the demonstrator slides the escutcheon plate down and it “does not” go down flush to the table top. This is because the overall height of the valve body is taller the escutcheon plate . NET: To be exact, to install the valve body, you either need access from below or will need to remove a section of floor from above. At a minimum the installer needs to drill a 2-9/16" (65mm) dia. in the floor so the top surface of the valve with the bubble level, can protrude thru the floor and be made flush with your floor surface. This is accomplished by securing the valve body to a mounting platform that is installed / mounted 2.3" (58MM) below top surface of your floor. The platform (not supplied as part of the kit) needs to be mocked up on site (usually from scrap lumber) by the installer. Depending on your subfloor and the framing and/or spacing of your floor joists, the mounting platform is typically installed between two joists. Once properly installed, from the surface of the platform to floor top edge of the valve body needs to be 2.3 inches (58MM). FYI: As an alternative to installing the valve from below the installer can elect to simply remove a section of floor, and do the entire installation from above i.e. building the platform, run the water lines etc… then close up the removed section of floor with the exception of leaving a 2-9/16" (65mm) dia hole for the valve to protrude. TIP: Although not the same make or model of tub filler valve you can get a good idea of the platform mounting process by searching youtube for the video titled: KOHLER- Multi faucet mounting block 97339 - NA

REF: Free Standing Tub Filler - NET: The original design of the brass flange that threads onto the bottom of the vertical stand tube and then gets bolted to the floor mount is not strong enough to protect against lateral forces and allows the vertical stand tube threads to break loose from the flange (seen and heard at 1:56) . . The solution "redesign?" shows 4 set screws threaded into the side walls of the brass flange which allows it to "bite" into the vertical stand tube (seen at 3:59) This set screw solution lets it withstand a much greater lateral force shown around 6:56. NOTE: Although the description for this video states a client found a solution for a problem with the freestanding tube ... and the video shows the problem and the solution... its not clear if the video is just a recommendation i.e., fix for consumers if they choose to fix the problem and/or if Landonbath will be making a manufacturing change and include the setscrew design in future shipments. My faucet (exactly as shown in this video) was purchased earlier this year and it "did not" have the 4 set screws in the flange. Thanks to an internet search I received a tip from a plumber in a plumbing forum saying he's had great success using Loctite Threadlocker Red 271 on the threads of the flange just before he screws the flange into the tube. (no reports of any tubes breaking loose.

Do you have a video solution on fixing the problem when you switch between shower and tap, but water continues to drip from both of them. Meaning that on shower mode, it drops from the tap, and vice versa, when a tap is running, it drops from the shower?

I have one of these but im having a problem with the valve above this area if u are able to show a replacement or how to fix something along that line thanx in advance

Hi Installed but no water is coming out of the tap, possible reasons why this may be occurring??

How do you mount the rough-in valve below the subfloor?

More importantly, there is no way to catch leaks from inside without looking up from bottom.

Great, but that doesn't explain how to mount the rough-in fixture to a concrete floor.

Please can I get your number for more details

Thinking, would it be best to lube the O rings :-/

Sure, but how do you get the water connected to the brass fitting without having pipes sticking up out of the floor?

Is this the Delta Trinsic tub filler? I bought a used free-standing tub and tub filler, but it is missing everything below the large chrome upright tube. This is a well-done video. Thanks.
