It would seem to me that there are not many two- or three-handle tub and/or shower faucets currently on the market since most of these are not pressure-balanced (the feature that is supposed to protect someone in the shower from being scalded whenever someone else flushes the toilet in the same room).

Delta's Monitor II series (2300) is also now not available (probably not so for at least 5 years). . . how could that be? I'd hazard a guess that a few homeowners with these valves probably mistook the temperature and volume controls for the normal hot and cold ones.

It has been more than that. I suppose that valve, and Price pfisters similar one, were discontinued because of lack of interest and/or sales.

This might have been explained to death, but I do believe non-PB faucets aren't allowed anymore by recent codes (all new installations will be PB faucets) - when did they change the law that eventually phased out all the non-PB faucets?

I can understand the occasional hot water shock, but that so far has never happened to me in my shower, even when the toilet in the same bathroom was flushed.

it is a child safety issue

children are MORE SUSCEPTIBLE to scalding, as well as 'helpless'
