I am a licensed plumber from Massachusetts and I saw in the archives from 2005 a thread about the desire and some solutions for replacement valves of this size. In searching for a replacement for a customer with nice original tile that they do not want to disrupt the only 11" replacement I have found is a ugly home depot no-name. All of the info in that original thread is outdated. Can anyone please assist me in finding a better solution? Either modifying a nice 8" valve or a better alternative to the unit that home depot has, would really make my life easier. Thanks, Mark.
