This seems like such a simple problem, but I'm at a loss as to how to deal with it.
My wife just purchased a Jado shower head and valve body (pressure balanced). The inlets and outlet are 1/2" NPT. How the heck do I thread the copper supply pipes onto this? The supply line is always going to be immovable.
The supply lines are fixes in place, so they can't turn. If I thread-on an adapter and then solder to the copper pipes, how do I know if I've gotten the adapter tight enough? I'd have to turn the water on to find out, and by then it's too late.
What am I missing? This seems like such a simple issue, given that a lot of valve bodies come with this type of hookup.
