Aolemi 8 in shower system with valve review

The cheapest complete shower system here: a pressure-balance valve with trim, an 8-inch rain head and a handheld, in SUS304 and brass on 1/2-inch NPT, for about $90.

What the listing puts in writing

  • SUS304 stainless steel head, handheld, arm, bracket, hose and cover plate; brass valve body
  • Two functions: an 8-inch wall-mounted rain head and a handheld on a 59-inch hose
  • Pressure-balancing valve against temperature swings when other fixtures run
  • Pre-installed valve, arm, hose, bracket and manual; standard 1/2-inch NPT, wall-mounted
  • Air injection; single handle for temperature and flow

A whole shower, valve included

This is a complete system: the rough-in valve that goes inside the wall, the trim, the arm, the rain head and the handheld. Fitting it means opening the wall to the valve. At about $90 it is the cheapest complete system on this shelf.

The valve that matters

Pressure balancing is the line to look for on any American shower valve. It keeps the temperature steady when someone flushes, and codes require it on new installations. It is stated here.

What is not written

No cUPC or ASME A112.18.1 listing, and no warranty. The SR SUN RISE on this shelf shares much of this page’s wording and adds all three, for about $36 more. For a valve behind tile, those are the lines worth paying for.

Strengths, and the catches

Compromises

  • No certification and no warranty on the page, where the SR SUN RISE states cUPC and six years
  • Several bullets are word for word the same as the SR SUN RISE listing
  • An 8-inch head and a 59-inch hose, the smallest of the systems here

The questions we get

Do I need to open the wall?

Yes. The kit includes a rough-in valve, which sits in the wall behind the trim. Replacing a shower valve means cutting access to the pipes and soldering, crimping or threading the new valve in; it is often a job for a plumber, and some places require a permit.

What does pressure-balancing mean?

The valve holds the mix of hot and cold steady when the pressure on one side drops — when a toilet flushes, for example — so the shower does not suddenly scald or chill. US plumbing codes require this protection on new shower valves.

Why does it read like the SR SUN RISE?

Several bullets match that listing almost word for word, from the stainless parts list to the pressure-balance paragraph. It suggests a shared supplier text. What differs is what each backs up: SR SUN RISE adds cUPC, ASME A112.18.1 and a six-year warranty; this page adds none.
