New member here! I wanted to ask a question regarding mixing valves. Is there any reason whatsoever to connect a mixing valve with hand-tightened connectors? Please see attached photo. I hired a plumber to install a new bathtub and mixing valve for me. This was just two days ago. Everyone I've talked to so far tells me this is a nightmare waiting to happen. I'd like to get the advice from pros and DIYers on this forum. Thanks in advance!
