Plumbing valve question

[Sawtooth]

Well I think I got the hang of it. After 3 or 4 trips to the hardware store I finally learned the difference between PEX a and PEX B, and expansion versus clamp fittings

Might not be the prettiest Plumbing work ever but there's no leaks

I think I'll stick to conduit and wire though.

This is the before and after for the Jack and Jill bathroom. Next will be the tub shower conversion.

Constructive criticism always welcome but don't laugh it's paid for

There ya go …..also nice to see ya did blocking behind the mixing valve. Who says ya can’t teach old electricians new tricks !

Got the tub wall cement board up and floated

 

[Sawtooth]

Nice!! A mortar bed float old school style , no Hardi board or Wonder board etc. Refreshing to see someone still takes pride in their tile prep! Now the easy part ……

Jack and Jill is almost done

Now on to the tub conversion...got the drain set.

Jack and Jill is complete

Plumbing and wall floating is done on the tub conversion

I had my bathroom done 2 years ago, second course of tile from bottom is cracked all the way around shower. I got pics of build and its looks like its right at where the hot mop area would of meet cement or whatever it's called. any idea what would have caused this?

I did the demo and the plumbing work. Subbing out the tile and glass portions. I barely have enough talent to figure out the plumbing ain't no way I'm tackling the tile.

How did the soldering go?

How did the soldering go?

After the encouragement here and watching a few YouTuber type deals I think I got the hang of it. As was said in this thread previously make sure everything's clean deburred and lightly fluxed. The biggest pointer I picked up from YouTube was to heat the opposite side of where you want to solder and to remove the Heat once the solder starts to boil then complete the solder

How did the soldering go?

I left the valves open and pressurized with caps on the nipples for a full 24 hours on each of them with no leaks.

Leg shave shelf?? That's not what that's for! If your lady is only using that shelf to shave her legs, brother you are missing out!!!
