If I lived in that state that outlawed a two-handled faucet, I would

Are Two and Three handle Shower Faucets Illegal ..

The Uniform Plumbing Code and International Building Code, in accordance
with ASSE 1016, require that all tub/shower faucets now be of the
pressure balance or the thermostatic mixing valve type. Two and three
valve handles are not. The purpose for this is to prevent serious harm
from hot water scalding.


Completely understand the code and that's for new construction. They
won't be making people change over if their fixture has the original
two/three handle faucet. Otherwise, they better be willing to pay to
have it updated.
