Answer This Question
A: Unfortunately, we do not calculate the width including the control valve. However, based on a quick look at our models, the vesta valve appears to stick out about 4 inches beyond the width of the unit. So with this unit's width at 16.5", I would say its about 20.5" wide with the control valve.
