I just read that two handed shower faucets are no longer allowed. This was something new to me. I never gave it a thought that it wouldn’t be allowed anymore.

The anti-scald faucets are required in bath tubs and showers in new constructions. I think I have seen 1 or 2 brands in the 2 or 3 handle style faucets but yes they are in the $250.00 -$350.00 range.
For what I know they are even required if the whole house has an anti-scaled device installed. They have them here on group homes so clients don't chance being burned at any hot water faucet.
I heard about the requirement about 3 years ago. They are only required on new construction or remolds... (if it's being inspected   )
I personally like the 3 handle style in my home better, never did like using the 1 handle with the broken tub spicket pull-up knob that sprays water all over the walls and outside the bath tub.javascript:emoticon('')

Up here we use two handles. One on the wooden bucket that fetches the water from the creek and one on the black cast iron pot that is positioned over the open fire to heat the water.
