You do make it look easy, Steve. Those were some tight quarters to work in. Great job!

Steve you are a pro with your soldering. I have never seen you use a burn shield

When i soldered in tight places, i used old license plates, backside facing heat. They bend easy and you could duct tape them in place. Great for protecting fiberglass, keeping wood from burning, etc. Tech tip momma.

Hi Steve, looks like the resident supervisor, ( daddy long legs) is inspecting your work!!, lol 😆

I think they should make it code to put an access door so that You can change the tub faucet if You ever need to.

There's no reason not to. Friends had a condo built around 2005. There was access to the back side of all 3 shower/tub valves, and for every cleanout. The place was also wired and piped for electric & gas appliances so you could run whatever you wanted. Also properly piped for a water softener (a necessity in the area) so the kitchen faucet and patio hose connection got unsoftened water. Someone with experience was involved in the design, that's for sure.

We had a handyman do just that for us. Four screws and the piece of drywall comes right off to expose the mixing valve and such, awesome! 😊

Code for Swedish bathroom is everything has to be external - pipes, taps, mixers. Pipe is chrome plated copper with chrome compression fittings, no soldering. And floors and walls are sealed all the way up.

Steve, that looked like a tough soldering job. Nice job and good tech tips !

High Steve from Scotland love your work and videos

Great job. I really like how you installed the two pieces of wood to attach the wallboard to. You do excellent work.

Great job. I recently did the same Moen shower valve replacement. It was impossible to solder the valve body without leaking using lead free solder. I finally bought some 60/40 lead solder and it worked great.

That was a good job Steve

nice job...

Hey Steve!!!!

Stevens torch is louder than my wife when we're in the bedroom.

owner could have called the manufacture they would have sent the cartage or a whole new unit if there is no parts. pretty much all these companies give life time warranty on these units.

Yep have a shower just like that called Pfister 1-800 number they sent me a new cartage kit and a new trim kit i didn't even ask for, Cost me nothing just my time, installed everything myself easy. But Steve did the best for his customer the shower valve may not have been under warranty like mine was great installation Steve you did a good job for your customer.

you could press it with compact press ring kit, be done in less than 30minutes, and charge 1100

Ok Steve another satisfied person

Moen is a good choice for replacement. I made the mistake of installing a Price Pfister faucet in my kitchen. The valves were always leaking and were expensive to repair.

Nice

I would have put a plastic access panel over the hole for future repairs.

Plumbing Artistry at its finest ! 😊

22:58 good thing you didn't have your glasses on. that is scary.

Steve great work. what do you do if its on an outside wall?

What I don't get is why the slip coupling cost more than the normal one, there's less machining that's needed!

Good six hundred dollar job. good video keep em coming.

Right, I was a teenaga (practice my New Hampshire accent) when I did that soldering behind showa. It's a Moen, I thinks. No leaks mamma, (but who knows what's going on under the rubber matting in bathroom or carpet in next room mamma). I was a teenager mamma! I think I did it right! ha. Always a nice time Steve with your videos.

I know your old school but what do have against pro press fittings???

once i clogged my toilet and had to call a plumber

Price Pfister, they could have contacted them and got a new valve for free. They have a lifetime warranty and their warranty department is really easy to work with and gets things taken care of in a timely manner.

Can't believe how you cut the drywall right next to the PVC pipe in the wall. You must have x-ray vision.

Steven, I saw that big spider come down,you must have smoked him out of the wall 🤔

I don't think propress should be allowed becuase I belive a solder joint is the best way to make a water tight connection I heard alot of the bigger companies use propress I don't never will not interested in propress !

Heat where you want the solder to go. Solder flows toward heat. Very thin coating of flux.

I have those dandy long legs in my bathroom too, i haven't figured why they hang out there.

First comment yippee

that cartridge is a bitch getting out. use delta a better shower valve.

I know you're not a fan of them, but wouldn't this be an ideal job for a pro-press? No fire risk, center the new valve and zip zip done?

tech. tip red is thinner blue is better, moma...
