Shower valve rough out

[Jeff Knecht]

Just planning ahead...
Is there a way that I can install a Delta RP10000 PEX WS shower valve and make it easier, to repair or replace in the future, from an adjacent room or closet? I thought that if there was a need, I could cut the screws holding the stringer, pull out the valve and stringer, make the repair/replacement, attach the valve to the stringer and toe nail the stringer.

That would work.
Though, I'm pretty sure any repair needing that would be decades away.

Or install the screws that hold the stringer on from the backside. or toenail them in from atop and below so that they can be removed from the front or the back. Or even use Ell brackets that hold the stringer that can be accessible from either side.

We always install shower valves that have integrated service stops for maintenance. Delta valves have that feature too.

As Terry mentioned, you probably won't be the person remodeling that bathroom, it will be the next owner.
