I'm renovating a bathroom and relocating fixtures.
In the case of the tub I am not happy with the new anti-scald valves and want to reuse the existing tub/shower valve body.
1) As I understand the code the anti-scald requirement is for the shower and not the tub. Can I reuse the tub/shower valve body for the tub and put some kind of intermediate valve between the diverter and shower head? If so do you have a suggested product?
2) The valve body in my existing tub/shower is close to 60 years old. It is solid brass. Are there reasons not to reuse the valve body assuming I can replace or refurbish the removable parts?
Thank you.
