Hello
A while ago I installed a Kohler Mastershower k-401 valve. Works fine but I'm now ripping out the tub and putting in a walk-in shower.
Q1) Can I re-use this valve? It happens to be discontinued by Kohler, but not sure that's a problem?
Q2) I do now want to use a transfer/diverter to have overhead and hand held shower.The old "matching" 3-way transfer valve (k-405) is also discontinued. There is a new 3-way (k-728) but from the rough in diagram dimensions, it would need to be set back from my valve. Not sure this is a problem other than making the copper route from valve to 3-way do a dog leg backwards.
Or - should I punt the old valve completely? Given their cost, and trim, I'm hoping to use it.
Thx for guidance.
