I'm going to my mother's house the end of the month, and thought I might change out her old Moen tub/shower valve for something new that meets current anti-scald technology because there will be a bunch of people in the house. Not a big deal most of the time since she lives alone, but could be with a bunch of people around; and, the one in there is ancient.
The current setup has the valve trim almost literally sitting on the top edge of the tub spout. This means that the drop from the valve is probably only about 3-4". was looking at the Delta installation instructions, and it says 8-18" for this dimmension. There is a showerhead. So, is it likely to give problems, or am I looking at more work trying to move the valve and fixing the tile? I'll look at some other brands, but from what I hear, this is a common spec. Any recommendations?
