We needed a replacement for a valve in our built-in tile shower that is about 18 years old and we found the item that we needed here at Wayfair. It was a much better price than I found it at other sites and arrived quickly and it was just what we needed to fix our plumbing problem.

Didn't solve our problem but I dont think thats bc of the part

Replaced an older all brass cartridge with this one and it works very well.

These worked well temporarily as replacements, but they did not last long, maybe 3-4 months, we replaced 4 of them all at once, since we have 4 showers in the house that are all Hans Grohe. It seems the mineral deposits in our water keep getting inside and also clog the fine filter/screens. It is a poor design on Hans Grohe's valves and we will not be buying any more Hans Grohe products ever again, stick with Delta or Kohler!

The part was different from what is shown in the picture. The one sent is all plastic while what is fitted and what is shown in your picture is brass in the front and then plastic at the rear. What is worse is that (a) I am yet to receive an email with return shipping label and (b) I am going to be charged return shipping even though a wrong part was sent.
