hot/diverter/cold handles on a tub as well as teh tub spout and shower head.
My question is:
Should I hire a plumber or attempt to do it myself? I am ok with sweating copper but have never done a pressure balance valve. Can I use PEX to do this instead of tearing out the wall? (never worked with the stuff)
If I tear out the wall can I go down into the crawl space,cut off the supply and build the thing up at my work table and then just make the one sweated joint in the crawl space so as to have the space to work on the stuff and do it right?
Finally,I plan on using GROHE. Any thoughts? What is the difference between a 3-port,4-port,3-port with stops,4-port with stops valve?
Thanks.
