This is a TRIM kit, not a complete tub and shower faucet assembly! The valve must be purchased separately, keep this in mind if you’re considering this item. That being said, this kit contains all other pieces necessary for installation…shower head, shower arm, all trim plates, gaskets, handles, screws and gaskets are included. The fit and finish is perfect!
Pros: Easy to Install

This installs in the existing shower head fitting, simply unscrew the old shower head extension and screw in the included adapter. It comes with a stick on bottom attachment on the shower wall, but I chose the screw attachment option for some added security.. The shower head is great with four different sprays patterns. The shower head nozzles are rubber and easily wiped clean. The hand held head has four sprays with a toggle switch for one hand operation. The push button diverter works perfectly. It is an easy job to install this assembly, and everything down to the screws is included.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Install, Looks Great

This piece is great for use on walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, backsplashes and as accents to other products. Color: Antique Mirror / High Sheen.

We had been looking for an antique mirror to use over our new mantle and found these. They have an antique look due to the beveled edges and slight amber tint and were perfect for what we wanted. We had to cut some of them and our tile wet saw with a diamond blade worked great. It did leave a sharp edge that a pass with emery cloth cleaned up nicely. We used a construction adhesive to mount them with good results.

This cover is for a 25 amp single outlet. The cover fits snugly and has an excellent finish. It is for interior use only, there is no protection from weather for use outdoors. As with all electrical products, be sure the power is off before doing any work, and be sure to follow all local and state electrical codes. If you are not comfortable working with electricity, consult a professional.

Answer:
I looked on several listings for this kit and it does not appear they are energy star rated,
The TowSmart LED Trailer Light Kit is ideal for multiple styles of trailers where LED lights are desired and should be used on trailers over/under 80 in. W. The high visibility LED taillights last up to 100,000 hours which far exceeds standard incandescent trailer lights. The light kit provides a waterproof, corrosion resistant housing and built-in reflex lens that is constructed from durable acrylic and withstands harsh weather conditions. Functions as a tail light, turn signals on the side, brake light and has a license plate illuminator. For added value, the kit includes: 2 stop, turn and tail lights, license plate bracket, 20 ft. wiring harness and mounting hardware. LED lights have excellent illumination and offer a good replacement for your old incandescent lights.
What does the "80 in." mean? Is that how much wire it has?

Answer:
It means that these lights meet DOT requirements for trailers 80 inches or less in width.
Veneered construction gives these decorative PureBond Birch Plywood Project Panels the strength, flatness and rigidity to satisfy the most discerning craftsman. Each 5-ply sheet is assembled with a soy-based PureBond technology to fortify its structural integrity, with the added benefit of being formaldehyde-free so it will not off-gas toxic fumes over time as UF-constructed plywood is known to do. The decorative veneers are precision-cut from domestically grown, sustainably harvested birch trees, producing visually alluring wood grains on the face and back of the panel that exhibit the warmth, beauty and timeless quality of natural hardwood. Featuring real timber throughout, the core veneer consists of natural yellow poplar substrate laid in alternating cross bands for utmost stability and ruggedness. It's a cost-competitive alternative to urea formaldehyde-laden plywood and will not contribute to air-quality degradation like composite panels. For extraordinary results on your next carpentry or woodworking project, add this 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. panel to your arsenal for construction of cabinets, entertainment centers, wall panels, coffee tables, bookcases, toy chests, benches, desks, shelves and more. The decorative veneers have a smooth finish that allows painting or staining to make it uniquely yours.

Several reviews seem to indicate that the spray wand "docks" with the stem -- is this true, and if so, is it mechanical or magnetic?
Also, will this be offered in a faucet/sink combo package? I've been considering the Model # KHU101-23-1630-42SS combo offered through Home Depot, but I've been concerned that the 1630-42SS faucet doesn't seem to offer a docking mechanism...

Answer:
It does enter the stem about an inch, and when docked it is very solid. I appears to be a mechanical connection.
