Review: Good and well manufactured - I am happy with it only customer service is a problem not product
Review: Awesome - We recently remodeled 3 bathrooms and we are so happy with all the Hansgrohe product. This iBox is genius... To fully appreciate it, you'll need to watch a video at the Hansgrohe website where they animate this iBox for various configurations. It is just plain genius. Hansgrohe made it simple that this is the only thing you use for shower / tub connect... you want a shower only, use the iBox... you want a shower / tub combo, use the iBox... you want a hand-held shower and jets on the wall, use the iBox. You get the idea. Installation is easy but requires attention. Because this is German/European, they do things a little differently than us Americans, and thus your American (I'm assuming) contractor / plumber. First, you have to make sure that it is installed in the proper position... Although it can rotated 180 degrees without consequence, it cannot be rotated 90 degrees. There is actually the word "Top" on top, which my contractor missed. He installed the top to the right instead, so he had to re-do it. Second, all the connections are screwed / twisted on instead of solder like other brands. You'll melt the plastic if you use solder nearby! My contractor soldered all the pipe (short segment) and 90 degree bend connectors elsewhere first, and then twisted them on... this iBox looked like an octopus (with 4 legs instead of 8) when it was installed. Then you can solder those connectors to your water supply / shower / tub outlet. Or you can skip all the copper pipe and use PEX tubing instead. I bought 3 of these and am very happy. I would highly recommend watching the video at Hansgrohe website multiple times, they explain the installation and waterproofing well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this satisfy the code requirement for an anti-scald valve here in the US?**
A: I'm looking @ a picture of a universal iBox. You need the iBox & the anti-scald valve made by Hansgrohe. This valve has a maximum water temp that meets code. It also has a manual overide button, should the adults enjoy something hotter.

**Q: Good day   I wanna know if the iBox can be used with a system of individual keys in the shower.   Thank you for your attention   Regards   Carlos Mora**
A: I don't know what "keys" are in shower terminology. If you are translating from the spanish word "llaves", the words in English are "valves" or "faucets", depending on which physical part of the system you're talking about. We use "grifo" to mean the whole faucet, which would include the "tap" portion of the faucet (where the water exits) as opposed to the valve handles, hot and cold, which we refer to as "llaves". Which do you mean?

**Q: Does this come with the screws that hold the cartridge in the housing? They aren’t in the box and I can’t find them online. Any help?**
A: Screws that came with my shower handle secured the handle to the valve. Your not supposed to unscrew the white plastic seal cap from the shower rough before your ready to install the shower handle. Then my handle came with everything needed. Obviously I had a handgrohe shower handle also

**Q: I want to buy TWO of this fixtures/iBox TODAY. One for Shower stall and the other for bathtub with Shower. These valves will it do it?**
A: Yes, this is exactly what I did.  I have shower separate from my bath tub. I installed one in each.  Because each iBox has 4 holes (one is the input for hot, the other for cold, and the other for the output for the shower head), I ended up with an extra hole, and I did not want to wast it, so I added one more outlet for a handheld shower head for my bathtub and shower stall.  All my fixtures are from Hansgrohe.  I'm not a plumber, I'm a woman with no plumbing experience, and I could not afford to replace the entire plumbing for my house, so I went to Home Depot and bought a book and I did the entire plumbing myself and bought good quality materials.  The iBox is easy to install. Just make sure to put white paste and white plummers tape on the threaded holes, and ask a male to tighten them.  Mine kept leaking because I was too weak to tighten them. I am only 100 pounds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly with thermostatic controller
*by V***N on July 3, 2024*

Necessary if you install a thermostatic controller. Here is the retrofitted from Alt Shower who have Delta plate. It is very high quality and make sure you hire someone who knows the trade.
