DIY Retrofit Shower Valve | No-Solder Plumbing | Sharkbite

In this video, I will walk you through the steps to install a new shower valve (Amazon - RKF Pressure Balance System) in an existing shower that has ceramic tile using basic tools! There will be no need to repair and/or replace the ceramic tile or tub surround. It’s a lot easier to just repair the drywall on the opposite side of the wall. Following these simple instructions, you will not need to hire an expensive plumber and this project was done for less than $100!

As always, thanks for watching!

I love how he said, these shark bites are cheating and most plumber will frown upon their use, but we aren’t really plumbers are Subscribed

Ron, you have NO IDEA how helpful this was. I saved $1600 I definitely did not have and I did research for hours trying to find some help until I found your video.

Really appreciate the clear, concise instructional and annunciated narration without any overpowering music. Not too brief and not overly in-depth. Thanks!

This video was very easy to watch—perfect length and to-the-point with no weird transitions, “special effects” or music. 👍🏻

OMG! You just solved 2 issues for me in the first 3 minutes.

2. Emory cloth
Thank you!

This is awesome!!! You should have a DIY masterclass ... The best teacher I've found on YouTube ... going to check out your other videos ... my back wall is in the dining room ... thought I was going to have to replace the entire shower!! This will work so well!!

Really nice job. My honey-do list just got an entire bathroom faucet replacement project. So that's three faucets. Lol. But the shower was where I was nervous. You made it look easy. And the back of my shower is a closet, so I may leave a removable panel back there for future repairs. Thank you so much for this video.

I appreciate that the homeowner let you do that on their sofa

Clear post-edit voiceover, good advice, good humor, my guy you got it all down.

Glad I found this video. I butchered my old shower valve trying to drill out a stuck Moen cartridge and put some scratches in the brass that now leaves me with a constant leak. I have been dreading the thought of replacing it myself but didn’t want to pony up $1000 or more to get a plumber in to do the job. I had never seen Sharkbite before but you made it look very manageable. I can do this!
