The wood block above the valve holds it in place relative to the surround.
Terry, what's your opinion on the sharkbites in this setup? Why not sweat the whole thing? Shortcut? And does this look like 2 men, 3 hours of work?
It may be the pics, but the spout/valve looks to be shifted compare to the center of the tub. No big deal if it doesn't bother you.
That's because that wood block they picked up off the ground, likely some scrap I had there, was not square. If you look at the picture where there's a close up, you can see that piece of wood looks like a door stop...so the tub spout doesn't come straight out. It's at an angle when you are looking at it from the front. Either that or it's simply just bent. Work of a Master Plumber?
