I have a quick question. I got a roman tub faucet pretty inexpensively and it has the rough in valve with solder connections.
I have PEX supply lines and a drop ear elbow thing so I can connect it solidly.
Can/should I solder on threaded connections and then just use the flexible supply line to bring water from the pex to the rough in valve or do I need to solder it?
Valve is kind of like that one.

Flexible lines would be way easier as I would not need to line every thing up perfectly, but I don't know how reliable they are.
