Refers to two tub and shower valves installed on a shared wall. One valve gets installed normally with the hot supply on the left side of the valve and the cold supply on the right side. If installing a second valve on the shared wall the water supplies would be reversed, hot on the right and cold on the left. To remedy this, a valve that allows for back-to-back installation can have the stem of the cartridge rotated 180° so that the controls work the same.
