How to Install Mixet MCSVS Concealed Stops

Some concealed shower faucet installations make use of concealed stops located beneath the cover plate to turn off the water if you need to work on the faucet or shower. The Mixet brand concealed faucets use the MCSVS concealed stops to control the water. As the faucet ages, you may find that you need to replace these stops because they wear out and don't successfully seal off the water supply when you need them to. Replacing these concealed stops will renew your ability to turn off the water supply to the shower successfully.
