Review: Great product - Love this type of water mixer. Pressure is good
Review: Works awesome...not intuitive to install - I love, love, love the finished product using these valve boxes. These boxes permit very good water rate of flow and a wide variety of install options in terms of how many fixtures attached. The boxes themselves were pretty straightforward to install....I had to get them set up for my plumber but once he got the idea it was easy...just plug the ports you don't need and that's about it. Only word of caution is the the valve assemblies and covers are very pricey. Wow...yes. But they work fantastic. Temperature control is spot-on-perfect and so easy to use. I have them set up with two functions, hand sprayer and rain shower head. You can use both or either independently...works so well. So no regrets, but make sure you price the contraption you'll be putting inside this box before you get them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the grohe 1405300m set service stops necessary for this unit to fuction optimally adn why?**
A: The service stops are not required to make this operate. The service stops can be added so the water can be shut off at the valve to service it vs having to shut the main water supply to the home.

**Q: Can this be installed upside down if supply pipes are coming from above?**
A: Hi, thank you for contacting GROHE Consumer Connections. Installing the valve upside down will also require the decorative trim plate to be installed upside down. If there is anything we can assist you with in the future, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-444-7643, Monday- Friday, 8AM- 7PM ET and a Grohe Consumer Connection Advisor will be happy to assist you.

**Q: Can this be installed on an exterior wall in Indiana?**
A: I have not seen anything saying this is frost resistant. I would double up the wall to be safe. Basically build a wall on the inside from the insulation for where you want this. Pipes on exterior walls are a bad idea, anywhere.

**Q: does this have water restriction inside or free flow?**
A: Hi, thank you for contacting GROHE Consumer Connections. The valve itself does not have a restrictor. If there is anything we can assist you with in the future, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-444-7643, Monday- Friday, 8AM- 7PM ET and a Grohe Consumer Connection Advisor will be happy to assist you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Have for Installing Grohe Shower Controls
*by S***L on June 18, 2020*

This is a review of Grohe 35601000 Rapido Smartbox Universal Rough-In Box I am installing this shower control unit in my housekeeper’s bathroom (Figure-1). It is the GROHE 24110000 Grohtherm Single Function 2-Handle Thermostatic Trim, Starlight Chrome. In order to do that, I needed the corresponding rough-in box. This particular model works with several models of Grohe shower controls. Note: Unless you have some plumbing experience, and the right tools, I would recommend having a professional plumber install it for you. The Unit (Figure-2) The unit itself has: • 3 outlets 1/2-inch female • 2 inlets 1/2-inch female, for hot/cold water supply It fits into a hole with a diameter about 5.5 inches (13.9cm) Once the unit is through the wall, and properly mounted, you can attach the input water lines, and up to three output devices. The unit can be mounted on solid and dry walls (Figure-3). As you can see, I had to remove the drywall in her closet to get to the plumbing. I plan on installing a door there for easier access. I then cut an access hole into the shower, poked the unit through, and mounted it to the back with a piece of particle board. I have roughed-in the plumbing, but have not yet connected it In this image, you can see the unit coming into the shower (Figure-4). Okay, it looks pretty messy; however, the type of shower construction used on this old shower made it almost impossible to cut a perfectly round hole without damaging the surrounding tiles. The good news is that this rough-in box is very versatile and forgiving. Once I do of bit of retiling, and add the trim piece, you will never know. And, that is this end of this review, because it is all about the rough-in box; not the shower controls. But I will say this… It is designed in an almost intuitive way, and very well built. I take my hat off to the designers at Grohe. FYI: On the seller’s page is an excellent video on this product and its installation. Happy Plumbing.
