I'm in the process of plumbing a shower valve, and very carefully read the instructions and took measurements to install my stringer board for the rough-in valve at the correct depth.
However, after installing it, I double-checked the placement of the front of the plasterguard, and found that it does not sit plumb, even though the stringer board is dead plumb. A couple photos attached. The plasterguard on this valve is attached to the valve body with a single screw, and it is snug, but there is a certain amount of play in it. I'm thinking when the trim attaches, it will force the plastic plumb, but its a little annoying because I'd really like to double-check the valve is set at the correct depth before starting to put stuff over it. I also don't want the entire trim to sit out-of-plumb and have no way to rectify it. If I need to re-set the stringer out of plumb to make the plasterguard plumb, now is my chance.
