Hi all:
Replacing the existing valve (and trim) for a tub/shower in a building with copper supply lines that were treated about 7 years ago with the Ace Duraflo epoxy lining process and not sure what my options are.
I know that I can't sweat for any new changes because it melts the epoxy...also not sure if I am asking for trouble if I need to replace any of the existing line (say from the valve to the shower head) with new copper that obviously is NOT epoxy lined...am i going to end up with pinhole leaks in that section, which was the reason they did the lining?
I assume Sharkbite fittings are part of my no-sweating solution, but would love some advice on my best approach here. There's gotta be a way to make changes to things after the Duraflo process right?
Thanks in advance.
