i have heard that using PEX pipe between the tub/shower valve and the tub spout may be a bad idea, as it may cause water to go out the shower when unwanted. not sure why, unless the elbows for PEX being on the inside cause a restriction.
also do newer valves account for this in any way ?
trying to avoid soldering (i.e. using copper).
planning to use PEX from the valve to the shower head.
Also have heard that the distance from valve to tub spout s/b between 11" and 18". is this just about aesthetics or are there technical reasons ?
thanks.
