Vogt VE.220 2-Way Thermostatic Wall Mount Tub Filler Rough-In Valve

The Vogt VE.220 is a concealed rough-in valve intended for compatible wall-mounted tub filler systems, providing the in-wall plumbing foundation required before the finished faucet is installed. It is specifically suited to Vogt wall mount tub filler installations and excludes Mond models. By positioning the essential valve components behind the wall, the rough-in helps maintain a clean finished appearance around the bathtub area while supporting the functions of the connected tub filler system.

Solid brass construction gives the VE.220 a durable foundation for concealed bathroom plumbing. The material is well suited to an in-wall installation where the valve must remain securely positioned as part of the overall tub filler assembly. Its construction makes it applicable to new bathroom projects, renovations, and custom bathing spaces where the rough-in stage needs to be planned carefully before wall surfaces are completed.

Inside the valve, ceramic disk and ceramic diverter cartridges provide the control components for the system. The ceramic disk cartridge supports smooth water control through the compatible faucet, while the diverter cartridge manages water direction between the tub spout and handheld outlet. This two-outlet arrangement allows a wall-mounted tub filler system to coordinate both bathing functions through the appropriate finished trim and controls.

The VE.220 uses a 1/2-inch female NPT connection. This threaded connection is intended for compatible plumbing configurations and should be considered during the planning and installation stage. Because the valve is concealed, correct positioning, installation depth, and compatibility should be confirmed before the wall is finished. Installation should be carried out by a qualified plumbing professional in accordance with applicable local building and plumbing codes.

Performance specifications provide separate flow capacities for the handheld outlet and tub spout. At 60 psi, the handheld outlet delivers up to 7.8 litres per minute, or 1.9 US gallons per minute. The tub spout provides up to 22 litres per minute, or 5.8 US gallons per minute, at 60 psi. These different flow rates support the distinct water demands of handheld use and tub filling.

The Vogt VE.220 is certified to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and ASSE 1016 standards, providing documented compliance with recognised requirements applicable to plumbing fixtures and pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve applications, as applicable. For a successful installation, verify that the selected finished wall mount tub filler is compatible with this rough-in, particularly when choosing among Vogt models.

As an in-wall component, the VE.220 is best considered early in the bathroom installation process. Confirming the valve configuration, connection requirements, placement, and finished faucet compatibility before construction is complete can help avoid installation conflicts. Its solid brass body, ceramic control components, two-outlet functionality, and 1/2-inch female NPT connection make it a practical concealed valve foundation for compatible Vogt wall-mounted tub filler systems.
