I have been searching for this instruction videos for days now. Finally found this. Just bought a similar shower head and want to install it this weekend. Thank you 🎉
Thats true. I had difficulty but I made it work with a longer pipe. Because the tiler brought out the wall to far where the nipple holder was way into the wall.
Those Amazon shower and tub kits really look nice for the price, and yes that mixing valve housing is great. BUT even you as a real pro have had difficulty getting the drop ears placed correctly (you've done a few of these right?). To me that proves these products aren't DIY friendly .. they need to redesign how those parts connect. Other TH-cam channels show exact same problem that other experienced installers have. Thanks for sharing your knowledge .. finished product looks great! P
I installed about 10 of these amazon shower mixers/diverters. I had problems with every single one of them. Seems like amazon replaces brand names that sell the exact product all the time. I understand that the price difference is huge but buying a trusted brand is more like having insurance.
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Or better yet... As you know, many of the newer US made shower valves (in addition to the shower head) are now being designed to limit water flow due to EPA standards whereas tub fillers are not as restricted and have a higher GPM (so the tub can fill quickly). Instead of plugging the tub port, I would plug the shower stem port and route the tub filler port up to the shower head for an increase in GPM. (providing the work is not going to be inspected / permitted and you aren't concerned with water conservation)
Yeah I do see the advantages of pex A Larger diameter with fittings Easier to connect in tight spaces. All the speciality laundry boxes etc. come with pex a connections Probably a better system all the way around I do plan to switch someday Just tough with already having a pile of fittings
I mean, feel free to stick to your old ways if you want but these are the industry standard for a while now and have shown to be as reliable as copper. You being ignorant and thinking it's garbage has no bearing on reality.

Excellent series on this bathroom. I’m sad to see it come to an end. Looking forward to future videos.

How is the water pressure? Can the shower head and handheld be operated together? Thanks!
are they pressure balanced? Just seen says it on Amazon protection from sudden temperature changes
Hi
Can you pls let me know the size of this tub and from where i can buy it as i live in manchester uk
Are there more well known brands for these shower systems with a tub spout? Delta, Moen, Kohler ?

I always wonder how you would know if you put it tight enough that it is not leaking inside the walls ?
What type of purple drywall is that?
Really like the tile color/ style , any info on that? Thanks
Can you use a kit like this without a tub spout? Or do they make another kit for shower head only?
You could by just plugging tub port. But would be better off just purchasing the shower only option 👍 amzn.to/3RzeTJc

Thumbs up! Maybe worth two thumbs up!!
fantastic install!!! Do you feel there would be an advantage to use pex A instead of pex B?
Yeah I do see the advantages of pex A Larger diameter with fittings
Easier to connect in tight spaces.
All the speciality laundry boxes etc. come with pex a connections
Probably a better system all the way around
I do plan to switch someday
Just tough with already having a pile of fittings
Great vid! Thank you!
Just out of curiosity, about how much did that bathroom renovation cost?
Is that ¾ pex youre using?
1/2” 👍

Thanks. That wide angle lens made it look huge lol
Sumerain shower faucet system - Check this out! a.co/d/1FVa7Io
Any body used 1 of these long term?
Don’t put unknown brand valves behind the wall. After several years later, the owner will be screwed as they can’t find replacement parts.
Молодец класс!
SMALLEST TUB I EVER SAW HOPE YOU DIDNT TALK THEM INTO THAT
250$ faucet 15000$ to install. should of been installation comes with a free faucet
Why are you using plastic tubing instead of copper pipes? I would NEVER use that garbage in my home.
Then don’t

Pex last 20 yeast vs copper 100 years 😊
