Well, almost a year later, I have finally gotten around to doing this project. I had the day off, so I picked up a Viper at the supply house and installed it this AM. I made sure it had a 3" flush valve, as recommended. The wife says it "flushes like a dream" and she is not easily impressed...

You can get a tub and shower valve with them integrated.

That happens in my house too.

100% open up the drywall.

I would imagine they are to allow water to exit the channel.

If you point the shower head on the back wall, so no water gets in the shower door track, do you still get water where it should not be?

Either. Depends on if you buy Serise 2 Trim (works like PT) or Serise 3 trim (works like MR) to go with the valve body.

I 100% agree that is the plan. I would not worry about it tho. There are millions an millions of PT valves installed. I would imagine you will be able to get parts and trim for a very long time.

I did a M-Core and a PosiTemp. I did not use transfer valves.

I have done two (both Moen). I used copper. I would stick to what delta says. No one is going to see the drop ear in the wall.

Sorry … I was unclear. I was referring to Post#5.

I did not initially see that in the pic … you are likely right.

I am not a plumber. It is likely filled with biofilm. Just pop the trap off and look … 1/2 hour job, max.

They make plates to address that sort of issue. Example: https://www.amazon.ca/LASCO-03-6011-Bathtub-Chrome-Plated/dp/B00HYWCIQQ

I am just a DIYer, but have done several tubs. Maax tech support told me their tubs are all hand made and no two exactly the same. I expect Kohler is the same. Therefore, the mortar bed will need to be different.

Thank you. I will make sure it is 3’ and pick one up :)

Hi All: I was down at the supply house today toilet shopping. I was looking for the Gerber Avalanche, but they do not stock that one. They do stock the Gerber Viper 1.28 GPF (WS38592) at a very good price. I am just wondering if anyone has any recent experience with this one and could...

Not a plumber. A lot of those products have date stamps / expiration windows. As a DIYer, I usually buy the smallest quantity available and throw away it away, if expired before my next project.

I have used it to replace some hydronic radiators, with crimp rings. The only thing I did not is it does not seem as abrasion resistant as pex. Brand was VIPERT.

That'll wake you up in the AM.
