    Supporting shower mixing valve when using PEX
    Can someone provide a few tips for how you support a shower mixing valve in the wall when you've used PEX? On previous showers that I've put in, the copper pipes strapped to a block in the wall was more than enough. This time I can't quite seem to find a decent way to do this. Thanks.

    From the center of the spout to the center of the valve can be any distance you want but we usually install them between 6 and 8 inches. Good luck, Tom
