I would like to replace an old Delta mixing valve with a newer one. Does it look like I have enough room from the front without having to cut drywall in the back? I couldn't find a YouTube video that showed a mixer replacement from the front. In my mind, I think that I could sweat the slip joints on one end while unscrewing them on the other. Will that work? If so, could I do the same when installing new joints? Or should I just cut them?
Will I need to tape the threads? If so, will re-soldering the joints melt the tape? What is the correct procedure?
I have a little experience soldering copper pipe, but not alot and no experience soldering inside a wall. Any advice from experience would be appreciated...or perhaps you can direct me to a good DIY site or video. Thank you.
