Hi all,
I am removing a fiberglass tub and replacing with a freestanding tub. I want to use a floor mount tub filler as my first choice, wall moount second.
So for the floor mount tub filler I have a few questions(please see attachment for current pic):
1. most of the tub filler online diagram or instructions dotn give much info for hooking up pipe. From what I can see these filler have braided lines that go into the floor. This is fine for below floor access.
I realize I will need to jack hammer out to the wall(the wall is a non bearing its a short wall into toilet room) run the pipes over and up.
Is this the best way to set this up?
2.Since the pipes will require soldering at or below slab I am concerned with water and not getign a good bond, ideas?
3. I am a DIYer, any foreseable code issues, moving pipes, pipes side by side connections to braided connections at or below slab?
Any other considerations?Ideas?
Thanks....
Chris
