Hello All, new to the forum and found you at John Bridge's tile forum. I'm in the middle of remodeling my spare bathroom and need to replace the 40yo shower valve with a single handle shower valve.
Details:
The old valve has separate hot and cold water valves and connects from the bottom.
New systems is single handle and connects from the side.
Questions:
1. Since I'm going from bottom connection to side connection do I need an arrestor or is this an as required installation?
2. I need to increase the distance between the hot/cold inlets to make the connection to the side of the new valve. Any ideas on the best way to accomplish this. I was thinking a 45, short length of copper another 45, tubed to a 90 that goes into the new valve???
