So what do people do when they want to update/upgrade a shower? I seriously assumed this would be like installing my kitchen taps. I just changed them and everything was more or less universal, it was simple. Why is a shower so different?

The Delta version of that brass valve is $55. I was looking at a Delta shower head, taps and hot/cold knob for like $450 so that's what $500 in parts that I'm supplying. Seems outrageous to spend $1700 to install it, regardless of how difficult the install might be.

Maybe if I called a plumbing wholesaler like they might have some clue on how I can find the manufacturer?
