How a shower comes together
Every shower has two halves. The rough-in valve goes inside the wall and connects to your hot and cold pipes. The trim is everything you see: the handle, the plate, the shower head and, for a tub, the spout. They must be the same brand, which is why the builder locks your build to one brand.
Plan the valve before the walls are closed. Our shower valve guide explains pressure-balance and thermostatic valves, and the shower head guide helps you pick the spray.
Common questions
Which valve do I need for my shower?
Match the rough-in valve to your pipe: PEX with crimp rings, PEX with cold expansion rings, or copper and threaded pipe (IPS / sweat). The builder shows only valves from your chosen brand so the trim fits.
Can I mix a Gerber valve with a Pfister trim?
No. Shower trims are made for their own brand's valve, which is why the builder locks your build to one brand once you pick it.
Does the tub and shower trim include a tub spout?
Most tub and shower trim kits include a matching spout. Check the product page, or add an upgraded spout in the extras step.
