I'm about to install my new valve (American Standard, Pressure Balance).
All the ports are threaded so those are straightforward.
But, when I sweat the nearby copper tubes to connect to incoming supply, elbows etc., how worried should I be about getting the valve hot. I do not want to take the valve apart just to sweat near it.
Do people use heat sinks or other means to stop the valve overheating and , I assume, seals getting damaged. Is this common anyway?
Thanks in advance!
