Tub + Shower Faucet Install 

Boy have things things improved since I last installed a bunch Moen valves 30 years ago. Looks like your are making great progress.

A couple observations 1. you have a breadth of capabilities that mere mortals usually don't have 2. you must have local inspectors, etc. who are very tolerant of DIY (you're clearly not the average DIY guy) but they are sometimes not willing to accept perfect DIY vs the work of a trades person. 3. you and your family have immense patience. It's probably good that your kids are very young. On the other hand, if they were older they could learn a ton from you in terms of skills and just a sense of self confidence that you can to do anything if you set your mind to it. 4. I'm a lot like you. Very cross functional. Can do multiple trades. Prefer to work alone. Often felt if I did it I knew it would be done right and sometimes better than the trades folks (who to be honest, have a hard time finding qualified folks these days). But I sometimes wonder if it set a good example for my kids that I "never needed help" from other folks. IF you had had other folks other than a your dad and one or two other friends to help, would you have used them? All that said, love the series. Kudos!

A few times I was a little discouraged at my snags but your video was great to give me the confidence & guide me through, thanks for the video.

The slip on adapter you used for the tub spout. Is that apart of the faucet you purchased or is it an additional part? if it's an extra part, can you provide a link please?

Glad I ran accross this vidio. Redoing a bathroom right now and ordered the same faucet. Hopefully all goes well.

Your boy is quite the ham!

It was really easy to make! We need people like you Paul! Thank you so much! 💪💪💪😀

You just helped me in a huge way. I am a DIYer and had to replace the plastic bushing that someone had cross threaded. Thank you so very much…

Good morning from SE Louisiana 16 Feb 21.

Nj temp can’t go above 108 at inspection you usually change it once you get the CO certificate

Thanks for sharing a very informative 📹 video, and your son looks so much like you, he is a great looking young man 👨 👍, 😊👍💕💕💕

That Was A Really good video, it Would Be Good To Slow Down on the Pipe Part & A Little Better Light & Show The Fittings A Little Bit Better & Longer at Some Part So We Can Get The Right Things , I Will Recommend Your Video To Friends & Family Thanks

Excellent video. I am not sure why the handle does not screw snug in my case. It’s just hold the flange but turning it more does not make it snug to the snug and just turns freely. Any ideas?

Merry Christmas 🎅 family

Excellent video. We got a Pfister kit and I'm bookmarking this. Thank you so much.

What a cute little boy!

Thank you for splaying so clear vary helpful

I like your taste in brand of faucets. Price Pfister-The Pfabulous Pfaucet with a Pfunny Name. You do quality work using quality materials and equipment.

Thanks so much. Super helpful

Just diagnosed with the china bat flu. Ordered home from work for ten days. Perfect timing for this video.

Your followers have already said what I want to say. Have a very Merry Christmas.

Awesome videos! Thank you so much! Keep all the technical aspects in the videos like you do! They're very helpful! Merry CHRISTmas to you and yours, and GOD bless!

Totally helpful to me with that tub spout install!! Got it finished! Thank u sir!

Nice work on all your videos! I’m addicted! Keep them coming.

Very, very helpful and thank you very much

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time he says something is solid. Just kidding. Don’t do this. You’ll die. Love this channel 😋

Thank you so much

Cut boy!

Best ever

Thanks. Another good one.

thanks

in Australia we are not allowed to do any of this unless you’re a plumber I’ll never need any of this 😂but I fine is so interesting

No set screw looks nice

Good Video

Excellent video in both description and camera work. I'm installing one in my bathroom with a fiberglass shower surround exactly like the one in the video. I noticed on the black plastic ring it says finished wall at this surface. What about the piece of plastic that covers that and access to the screws? Is that just for protection?

Beautiful job!!! I had a Delta unit & value installed today, & although the plumber attached the shower head part to a 2x4, he didn't the other pieces. He did shim them, though, to they're pretty solid. Not like yours, though! And I love your copper -- mine is all pex. I absolutely hate the Delta Victorian unit I bought. It keeps running for a bit when I turn off the water. My 2-handle faucets never did this! I hope it's not a trait of the single-handle faucets. It was on the last one I owned. I'm going to pay to have it replaced with this one, I think. Hate to waste the money, but I hate the faucet.

Damn good tutorial.

Pro plumber!

You little boy is a sport model, bet he's a chip off the old block!

Nice, looking good. Couple of suggestions. You can also use brass nipples of various lengths when getting distance from drop ear to spout if you dont have one of those fancy spouts. Also just use a pipe wrench when tightening up that copper stub, less work than wandering around to the other side and trying to get a pair of pliers up behind the blocking. Since the copper pipe is hidden in the spout no need to worry about scuffing up the copper a bit with wrench marks. Also you need a right angle impact, easier than trying to toe screw those blocks in tight spaces.

Great tips !

No caulk behind or over the tub spout? What prevent water from seeping behind? The tightness?

nice system

I did not follow what you said in the beginning of your video. You have a diverting valve to direct water to either the shower head or the tub and it doesn't matter if you used PEX or copper. You could also use "Uponor Pex" if you aren't happy with small inside diameter of regular Pex.

You stated that you drilled a 3 1/2" hole in the shower. My instructions shows 4". Which is best and why?

Do you cut the hole for shower valve the same size as the mud ring then just slip mud ring back inside the hole?

Did you use foam instead of glueing and bracing fot 24 hrs? What is your process? Thanks!

Not sure if you mean soLdering and not sodering : haha Was that a smile I detected? Very interesting video Marshall thanks for sharing. You sure have a lot of knowledge ;) Your son is the spitting image of you :)

Great video! Thank you

My contractor installed the handle for this set where, when you turn it on, the water STARTS at hot and goes to cold when you turn the handle counter-clockwise. Can you tell me how can I correct this?

Great video...👍👍👍

One question... what happened if I install the shower valve up side down or to the side? Mine is a pfister valve ...because right now when I turn off the valve the shower head is still leaking water🤷🏽

Can you use cpvc instead of copper.

love your vids man!!!

What do you do with a p or s trap on the first floor like on a shower stall., Do i bury the s trap in the concrete ??? I'm a sub, Thanks i love the videos, they are so much help, this is definatley my favorite channel on youtube. I cannot wait to se what you use for the slide bottom. I am building a pole house in the spring, here in south dakota. I also want a slide but from upper living quarters to my shop side, I was thinking 26" wide 12' long PVC Corrugated Roof Panel or plywood with a 24" wide continous roll of tin attached. Thank you so much

What about not having copper. Have threaded nipple

Closest I've ever been to first!

Drill any turkey with your bow recently?

I have a question. I have a similar model but it has the smooth black piece for thicker wall as and there is no threads. I’m stuck I don’t know what to do. It’s my last step. The plumber installed the thick wall 2 3/4 max black plastic smooth piece. My instructions have me lost as there are not many words. Help a mom out please!

sehr Schön

one more step closer to drywall

Why not use the text a and compression fittings for everything why use copper and solder ?

Hex wrench is an allen wrench you could explain to your viewers as an aside, hope this helps. Best installation video yet on tub controls.

Your new channel name should be "Nice and Solid"

I meant cute boy!

U need a work bench with vise

LOL Funny Face :):)

This channel seems to focus a lot on the very technical part of the overall house construction such as the mechanical, plumbing, ventilation and water/heating systems. While all those aspects do have immense contribution towards the overall building of the home, the civil engineering aspects provides more satisfying viewing pleasure to most of the audiences (just my personal view). Hence, I would suggest the channel to re-focus your efforts on macro contents that would excite the majority of the general viewers. All these details technical contents should be given less airtimes than the macro construction contents in order to garner the enjoyment of watching the outcomes of your construction projects. Anyway, again it is just my personal opinion, and you retain the absolute rights over what u wish to share in you own youtube channel...
