DIY Retrofit Shower Valve | No-Solder Plumbing | Sharkbite
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 เม.ย. 2022
- 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 we!!!!!! Subscribed
You are so spot on!
I’m now on the fan wagon. Great job. Thanks for the zero music in between, the cheesy Timelapse where the music gets louder. 😩. Anyways, back to positivity. GREAT job!!
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. 👍🏻
I appreciate that the homeowner let you do that on their sofa
Luckily, I’m the homeowner. 😉
Nice job Ron; I especially like the new showerhead.
Sir: I found your channel through a search. I am mad at myself that I did not find you years ago! Sir: you are so practical, articulate, funny, and a GREAT DIY GURU. I have subscribed and am now a fan. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for getting right to the action. 🎉🎉🎉
This comment alone, has given me the motivation I need to get some more videos up! Thank you for the sub!
Clear post-edit voiceover, good advice, good humor, my guy you got it all down.
This is awesome!!! You should have a DIY masterclass ... The best teacher I've found on TH-cam ... 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!!
Thank you sir. I searched many videos until I found yours. Perfect 👌
Best video I’ve found Thank you for listing items needed to get the job done. Very informative… And you do make it look easy! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
Yes you can! 💪🏾
Wow! This was amazing! Well done 👏
Excellent video. Thanks Ron !
Good stuff, thanks Ron!
Thanks Ron. Good stuff

Nice job, bathroom turned out great!
Outstanding! I'm going to give it a go! Thanks, Ron! You ROCK!
Ron, thank you so much for this video!
Great job! I'm about to start a bath/shower remodel and the Sharkbite approach will really make the project much easier. Thanks!
Im about to take this on myself! Thank you for building my confidence!
You gave me the confidence to try this myself. I have 2 to change. Thank you so much!
Good project. Exactly the info I was needing as I have the same situation at my house. Thanks!!!!
Good job ron
Nice job!
Thanks Ron! I was just about to order new tub surround as the valve started leaking and saw your video. Saved me over 4K!
Ron, this was very helpful. I have to replace a valve next week and I didn’t want to solder if I didn’t have to. Also I was going to take out the drywall from behind so I glad I watched your video.
nice thanks Ron!
Great video, and dang, that's brilliant to use a hanger to find the spot on the opposite drywall!
Ron you definitely have me the confidence I needed to do it myself. I bought new fixtures and realized I would have to take out the tub and shower unless I did it your way! Definitely got a sub from me!
Glad I could help. Thanks for subbing!
Great job! Thanks
Very well presented Thanks for the video
Finally, a clear explanation of a simple installation method! Thanks for this video.
Thanks! This is the exact thing we need to do to replace a non-working valve in a shower.
Very well done ✅
Wow! I would have never thought going through the back wall! What an ingenious way you did this! Beautiful Job!!! Thank you for the video!!
Thanks for watching!
This was wonderful! New subscriber!
Nice man, I have a mobile home I'm retrofitting with all standard valves and fixtures so this is exactly what I needed to see. I wasn't sure how it would work only having access from the back but seems like I shouldn't have much trouble. Nice vid bro.
You really explain everything is such great detail
Great video
Hey Ron, Great job as usual. We appreciate you and all your helpful tips. Be Blessed & Have a great week!🙏🏼
Thanks!
Great video, thanks so much!!! 👍👍👍
Good job!
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.
OMG! You just solved 2 issues for me in the first 3 minutes.
1. A hanger
2. Emory cloth
Thank you!
Hey just saved me alot of headache soldering, thank you !!! Amazing job!!
Thanks for watching!
You’re the man, Ron!!!
Beautiful shower/ Bathroom...awesome job done again 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💛💛💛💫👋🏽💎🦋🇬🇧
Thanks!!
Ron I would have think hard about letting my husband do this to our dry wall. You a pro at doing that kind of job. Thanks for sharing.
You all can do it!!!
Everything I needed to get a job done, thanks man.
You share such great info in a practical manner. I appreciate you brother. Thank you.👍
I appreciate the encouragement!
Happy belated 1 year anniversary to you and Sharon. Thank you for sharing this video. You the man. Take care and have a great week. 🙂
Awww! Thanks!
@@rontalley You're welcome....🙂Aye! 🦾
Ron, first time viewer. Thanks for the video. It’s always good finding easier methods to a tough problem. I like how you used the shark bites and demonstrated step-by-step!
Thanks for watching. Hope to gain you as a subscriber!
Thank you! This video was very helpful
Thanks for this tutorial man, really appreciate it!
DIY Ron, I appreciated your video. I am not a plumber, and love DIY projects. I followed everything you did, except I didn’t cap the bottom valve (for our bathtub) and it worked out perfectly. Thanks again,
I love shark bites! Just make sure you debur the inside and outside before making the connection.
Great job, this is an awesome video!
I've done this a few times. Works perfectly.
If it worked perfectly, you would only have to do it once.
GREAT JOB TY
Great video. You made it so simple and easy. Thank you very much.
I really liked your video. We've done so many projects and sink plumbing was some of it. Now it's matching shower and tub faucets. I'll be adding a closet access door though.
I like how you take the steps to show us how do it the right way. Thanks so much
Thanks!
This was anything but the right way…but one accomplishment is this will keep us plumbers with lots of future work
First time seeing your work; well done amigo.
Thanks! Hope I gained a sub!
Very nice tutorial video. Thank you Bro.
WELL DONE MR RON
Thanks!
RON - I assure you that I won't being trying this,but THANKS for that CONFIDENCE 🤩💃🏻 ... You did the dang thang as usual 🙌🏽
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Ron !
Thank you so much for this video. My shower head has leaked for years due to a faulty valve that no one wants to touch. I always wondered if I could replace it from behind. The shower backs up to my closet so this tells me that is a great way to replace the valve!
Awesome work, a plumber quoted me $1,000 to replaced a three handle shower valve into one. I will do it my self.
Hey Ron great video 💞
Thanks!!
Great video man. Needed this
Glad to see someone besides 'This Old House' explain the steps in layman's term! Thank you!
Wow, that’s so motivating! Thanks for watching and the awesome feedback! 💪🏾
Hey Ron The DIY Guy, Nice Shirt! Great job! Aye💪 TFS. Take care, Have a Blessed day!💜

Thank you so much for the kind words!
You did a better job than most licensed plumbers would do.
Maybe consider putting down the meth pipe before commenting next time
Awesome video thank you for this
You are mor then welcome!
You’re great! Thx for the info
Thanks Ron, exactly what I needed to see. If you’re ever in the Detroit area I owe you a beer.
That’s a bet!
Hello Ron, Thank you for sharing this video because I was changing my shower head but the water 💦 kept squirting out and I knew I forgot to do something because I've done it before now I see where I went wrong I forgot to put the tape on it, so here I go back and do it right 👍🏽 again TFS your knowledge with us aye💪🏽 aye💪🏽
Yep, you need the tape unless it has the rubber washer. TFW!
I've been putting the same project off for a while and now it's a problem. I'm using shark bites like you are with the exception of using some flex tubing for inbetween pieces. (I'm replacing a two handle shower valve) Your vid was clear, easy to hear, great camera position, and when you said about the boogie man I laughed! Thanks for giving me the confidence to do this job today.
You got this! Thanks for watching!
Good Job mate.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for that. i was a little worried about using shark bites, but you made it look easy..
They are easy! If you can solder then that’s better but shark bites are good as long as you make sure you push them on all the way.
Plumbers say no sharkbites yet they use compression fittings which are basically an oring they compression with a tool. Sharkbite been used in air lines with higher pressure for years. They just mad they can't screw people anymore. I know we need plumbers but for simple things like this I think you did great job. I switched all my toilet and sink valves to sharkbite and haven't had any issues. Plus if you leave access panel you can always check on them every year.
Plumbers love shark bites. Feeds money into the service side when they fail...
Great video! I used shark bites temporarily while I was remodeling my bathroom, but once I was done, I took them off. I just couldn’t trust them. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Yeah, I typically solder everything but it’s good to have options that the average DIYer could do.
I installed shark bites on my water heater from the public water supply to the house. This was about eight years ago. Haven’t had a problem. I don’t know why they get such a bad rap but the work just as good or better then PVC or Copper.
Every plumbing company in town won’t guarantee work done with shark bites for a reason!
Cool vid, thanks for the help. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Bro you killed, nice job 👍
Good job amigo
Great video just what we needed to see. New sub here!!!!
Thank you for your video. I was a bit exhausted when my shower head broke, then the valve was leaking. My was similar to yours. 😂.
Thanks bro I’m pretty handy but I don’t trust my welds/ soldering I’m going to give this a try
I was really skeptical of tge PEX line back around 10 years ago before I helped run all the plumbing in a multipurpose building for a Bible camp. I was amazed at how simple PEX made the process & now Shark Bites are even easier without the need for any special tools. And you're right you might not be a "real" plumber, & when you're talking about water & the risk of causing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars of damage & mold abatement due to a bad solder joint keeping your ego in check & knowing your skills & limitations is vital.
