Still learning..slowly
I'm going to be replacing both of my 30 year old Temptrol shower valves while doing some other work, and was wondering about the "service" ports. My existing shower valves have them and I've never used them because I'm afraid they might leak if I twiddle with them, so I always turn off the house water when servicing the valves.
Other than not having to shut down the whole house to service, there is no advantage to having the service ports in a private home, correct?
Also, the only difference between the various valves is the fitting you get if you order the valve kit by pipe type - in other words the valve body is the same but they ship it with the adapters for PEX, or copper, etc. that I would thread on the valve. Correct?
