Why didn’t you buy the Moen repair plate- it fits their faucets perfectly- no hang over on the bottom. Also- if you had to solder in the wall- why didn’t you just solder everything and eliminate the “ Shark Bite fittings?
I was wondering that too. I thought sharkbites for people who don't want to solder, and yet he ended up soldering the short pieces anyway. Those valves are "universal" in that you can screw in fittings (which he did) OR solder pipes into the threaded section... But in the end, he showed how both worked, so a win for us anyway!
I usualy completely remove elbows and replace them because unsoldering one side and soldering another pipe in it when I do it I see the other side of the elbow solder melt so I end up taking the whole elbow off it might be fine but that's what I end up doing
You are correct. As an amateur my intent was to use shark bites for the job. Afraid of burning the house down :). Then I had to do some soldering. In hindsight I should have soldered everything.
@@edshandymantips4862 that's kinda what I figured. There's not a lot of videos out there demonstrating cutting tile with a multi tool. I just asked because I don't own an angle grinder, but I'm just gonna have to break down and get one. Thanks for the great video.
I tend to agree. It is a first floor shower with an unfinished basement below. The owner of the house is 97 and when the house sells it will be torn down so . . .
