A valve body for a shower, a bathtub, or a shower-bathtub installations. The valve body includes nipples for direct connection to PEX water supply lines and the shower head outlet, a bathtub faucet tapered nipple which is a universal outlet with male NPT threads to which a copper line can either be threaded, soldered or a slip or friction fit with a hose retainer clip and hot and cold adjustable limiters and standoffs on the rear side for installation of the valve body to a backer board. The standoff lug spacer means provide for precise spacing of the plumbing connections within the wall with respect to the front surface of the wall board. The standoffs also provide clearance between the plumbing connections and the backer board. The valve body accepts various back to back functional type pressure balanced cartridges for control of water flow through the faucet.
