In a "thin wall" shower installation Moen says the plaster ground should be flush up against the surround and serves to help support the valve. However, following instructions, I first roughed in the copper supply lines including the valve body. Like they say. I centered the lines in the 2X4 cavity. Now, of course the plaster ground stands proud of the studs and will block the surround end wall. So, I moved back the lines and now the ground is shy of the stud surface, but it will be loose when the escutcheon plate is screwed on and I don't see what function it will serve. I guess I could add some washers to tighten it up. Should I be worrying about this??
When you call Moen you talk with a guy who is basically reading the instructions, not a plumber who has any experience with installation. There is another number to press if you a tradesman. That probably connects you with real help.
There is also a useless video on the Moen website that cautions you to turn the water off before you begin.
