Moen makes it easy 😊 If you get the Moen Shower Valve with PEX B connections its a quick install 👉 https://shoplowes.me/4rUcwmf Couple of tips on installation: 1. Remove the shower valve cartridge and stops before applying heat to valve 2. Sand all fittings well before applying Flux 3. Don't over do it with the flux, simply run brush around all edges of pipe and fittings 4. Use Type L copper (thicker and lasts longer) 5. MAP gas will heat up things faster, heat the fitting not the pipe 6. When applying solder, roll around the entire fitting to ensure solder is siphoned in on all sides 7. Use a brass nipple and cap to add a test plug 8. PRO Crimp rings make PEX B connections easy 9. Measure and determine finished wall surface, then set valve plaster guard even with that thickness. Typically tile, 1/2" backer board & thinset add up to about 1" (there is plenty of play either way for valve; approx. 3/8" 10.
