I seem to recall that for at least SOME brands of shower/tub faucets,

IMHO, installing a shower/bath faucet with the hot and cold reversed
is just plain dangerous - and dumb.

Think babies, the elderly and drunks.

While I have less of a problem with a drunk getting scalded, I really
do care about babies and the elderly.
