: Hi all, Your question is ambiguous because we do not the direction the pipes will slant. But if I read you correctly then they can angle up to the valve and then 90 degree into it. : Probably another stupid question. I'm installing a new fibreglass shower unit that is offset from the wall about 1 inch+. The new valve will also be an inch to inch and a half further out from the wall than the original location. Here's my question. For the supply lines to the valve, should I just just slant the lines so they run at an angle to meet the valve or should I make use of two elbows solder together halfway up the line: : \|\| : \|\| : = : \|\| : \|\| : so that the lines remain straight. : Thanks, : Jon
