Help....
I'm a homeowner who soldered my first pipes just a couple of weeks ago. I recently converted from a shower-tub to shower only. To get the proper depth for my shower valve I have to push them into the wall about 1/2" and am concerned this tension may weaken the joints over time. The whole assembly is tight (not slack) due to my having to force them into place My lines come from the floor at 3/4 and I have a reducer to 1/2" one line come in at the front of the 2x4 on the floor and the other one towards the back of the wall and they both continue on to the 2nd fl shower through the ceiling. Do I need a do over and any suggestions? My wall is still open. Any help greatly appreciated.
