First off - I'm working on my first plumbing project ever, so I know very little.
We're remodeling our bathroom. I need to adjust the height and horizontal position of the plumbing to accommodate a larger tub. I'm going to be splicing and soldering some of the existing plumbing, which I feel will be okay and reasonable for me.
My question is the location of the valve. It's an old Moen valve and I'm unable to find instructions on how to install it. Specifically, how far it needs to be set off the face of the wall. We will be using durock and tiling the wall. How far from the studs should this be positioned? I figured I'd ask now while doing the plumbing modification in the event I need to remove the 90 degree bends that curve into the valve as shown in the attached pics.
Thanks for your help!
