Love the Moentrol valve in my shower. I intend to keep it when I R&R the shower surround in the coming months. My Moentrol valve wasn't new when I bought this old house 17 years ago, and it still works fine. The thing I like best about it is that I can dial in the temp I like, then press it straight in to shut off the water. Pull it out part way for lower flow at the same temp, or pull it out all the way for max flow the shower head will provide.
Those hotel showers where the valve only runs full bore and must be cycled from pure cold toward hot to take a shower and back through pure cold again to shut off the water are crazy.
