Hello
I have a couple of questions regarding installation of shower valves. I am installing Delta main valve and a diverter after that (see pics). If I read the instructions right the plaster ring on the main valve should be flush with the finished wall and the finished wall should fall somewhere between the flat surface on the diverter.
After looking at the diagram on the diverter instructions it looked like a straight shot between the two valves, however it looks like the main valve will need to come out a little which would put the diverter too far out.
I put up temporary 1/2" drywall to guage.
My questions are
-How much extra thickness do you figure to add for thinset, Kerdi, thinset and then tile (regular ceramic or porcelin).
-Do you typically have to offset these valves or should they just line up. The plaster ring for the diverter is just rubber and doesn't seem to stay in place too well so its hard to guage
Thanks for your help
