I’m not a fan of FIP adapters on shower valve but to each there own.

I did exactly the same thing recently. Capped of the bottom and went from 1/2 inch to PEX. The only difference is i just used the tape without putty. I dont like the putty, i feel like it will get squeeshed out and chunks will go clog the pipes inside. Or the shower head.

I just did two of these, using Moen. Because I am a homeowner, I elected to purchase the Ryobi PEX tubing clamp tool. Gives you a green light when it clamps correctly. I freaking love it and think stainless steel clamps are the way to go.

The hardest part is setting the depth of the valve. I would like to see a whole video just on that.

What are you going to do if the shower vale broke? There will be a lot of work to replace. It would be better not to mount to the 2x4 like that.

Did you choose to use pex b or did you just walk onto this job? OR did they request pex b? It’s b for a reason, I know you have a cold expansion tool for pex a

What's the best way to confirm the depth?

[AlecGrinage]

Is there a reason you need to use a 90 degree fitting instead of slightly bending the pex?

[JOHN-skxq]

Do you do phone calls or face time video in case we have a question on a project with the membership?

[toomuchgyal]

Are pex crimp rings really the best idea? I just installed this for my shower but worry about leaks...

[wolflokie]

LOVE PEX, but why use a 90 fitting?! when it cuts down your water 💦 pressure, pex usually has u use their tool to round the end slightly to fit on to your shower knob, less steps and better pressure 😜👍

[DJ_Driven]

What about instead of using the FasTape using Hercules Megatape gray?

[aidangainer]

I made the same project in trade school today plumbing is fun in my opinion

[andrew]

Only issue is you put that vice on the valves barrel. If that barrel deforms in any way it will drip constantly

[mikeymouawad]

Is the framing a plumbers job or carpenter?

[yaakovtseitlin]

lol just did this today YouTube’s watching
Nice work

[capn.c]

You don't need to keep checking the crimps. You check to make sure the tool is crimping correctly and than that's it. You check it every so often, not every time you crimp a couple rings.

[ricksanchez]

Use a elbow out of the valve, then you don’t need a 90 and reduce the chance of leaks

No offense but pex looks horrible coming off the valve body, go copper to the studs with 2 1/2 sweat tees 1/2 bell hangers 12” riser on each side with 12” drops then go pex with 1/2 plastic clips on each stud for vibration control
