What happens here

The user dry fits the entire plumbing assembly. He measures and cuts copper pipes for the shower riser and the connections from the valve to the tub spout. He discovers his initial measurements were incorrect because they didn't account for the new support board, so he removes the assembly, re-measures, and cuts new copper pipes for the hot and cold lines.

Goal: Plumbing Pipes Installation

Tools and materials

  • Copper Pipe Unspecified — The pipes for the hot water, cold water, shower riser, and tub spout
  • Pipe Cutter Unspecified — Making clean cuts on the copper pipes
  • Tape Measure Unspecified — Measuring the required lengths for the copper pipes

That looks good. Now you don't need to get this bad with it. We're gonna measure bottom of the valve. We're gonna put this right here in the center of the hole. Grab a stick of type L copper. So I've got a street 90 up here going into a wing del sideways and that is going to work for this. That's how much it's off. Yeah, it should be fine.
