Tub + Shower Faucet Install

[@TerraIncognita27]

A few times I was a little discouraged at my snags but your video was great to give me the confidence & guide me through, thanks for the video.

[@craigs5212]

Boy have things things improved since I last installed a bunch Moen valves 30 years ago. Looks like your are making great progress.

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks! This was a great install.

[@billmorris2613]

Good morning from SE Louisiana 16 Feb 21.

[@deanlawthers6234]

Glad I ran accross this vidio. Redoing a bathroom right now and ordered the same faucet. Hopefully all goes well.

A couple observations 1. you have a breadth of capabilities that mere mortals usually don't have 2. you must have local inspectors, etc. who are very tolerant of DIY (you're clearly not the average DIY guy) but they are sometimes not willing to accept perfect DIY vs the work of a trades person. 3. you and your family have immense patience. It's probably good that your kids are very young. On the other hand, if they were older they could learn a ton from you in terms of skills and just a sense of self confidence that you can to do anything if you set your mind to it. 4. I'm a lot like you. Very cross functional. Can do multiple trades. Prefer to work alone. Often felt if I did it I knew it would be done right and sometimes better than the trades folks (who to be honest, have a hard time finding qualified folks these days). But I sometimes wonder if it set a good example for my kids that I "never needed help" from other folks. IF you had had other folks other than a your dad and one or two other friends to help, would you have used them? All that said, love the series. Kudos!

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks for the comment! We plan to hire someone when we go into our next project, just didn't work out on this one since it's our personal home.

[@jamesdavisii8001]

You just helped me in a huge way. I am a DIYer and had to replace the plastic bushing that someone had cross threaded. Thank you so very much…

[@MrPostFrame]

Glad it helped!

Nj temp can’t go above 108 at inspection you usually change it once you get the CO certificate

[@charissanichols8383]

Very, very helpful and thank you very much

[@stevenbarone7902]

The slip on adapter you used for the tub spout. Is that apart of the faucet you purchased or is it an additional part? if it's an extra part, can you provide a link please?

[@charlesvincett84]

No set screw looks nice

[@ericschmelzer6243]

I like your taste in brand of faucets. Price Pfister-The Pfabulous Pfaucet with a Pfunny Name. You do quality work using quality materials and equipment.

[@MrPostFrame]

haha yes! Thank you!

[@mehdiizadi163]

Thank you so much

[@SamY-el6vm]

Excellent video. I am not sure why the handle does not screw snug in my case. It’s just hold the flange but turning it more does not make it snug to the snug and just turns freely. Any ideas?

[@EdwardTilley]

Great tips !

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks!

Damn good tutorial.

[@MrPostFrame]

Thank you so much!

[@bburnsga]

Beautiful job!!! I had a Delta unit & value installed today, & although the plumber attached the shower head part to a 2x4, he didn't the other pieces. He did shim them, though, to they're pretty solid. Not like yours, though! And I love your copper -- mine is all pex. I absolutely hate the Delta Victorian unit I bought. It keeps running for a bit when I turn off the water. My 2-handle faucets never did this! I hope it's not a trait of the single-handle faucets. It was on the last one I owned. I'm going to pay to have it replaced with this one, I think. Hate to waste the money, but I hate the faucet.

Good Video

[@MrPostFrame]

Thank you!

[@guitarfend]

Excellent video in both description and camera work. I'm installing one in my bathroom with a fiberglass shower surround exactly like the one in the video. I noticed on the black plastic ring it says finished wall at this surface. What about the piece of plastic that covers that and access to the screws? Is that just for protection?

[@foxguyday]

Me too

[@Mike_VH]

No caulk behind or over the tub spout? What prevent water from seeping behind? The tightness?

[@vahsholtztj]

That Was A Really good video, it Would Be Good To Slow Down on the Pipe Part & A Little Better Light & Show The Fittings A Little Bit Better & Longer at Some Part So We Can Get The Right Things , I Will Recommend Your Video To Friends & Family Thanks

[@محمدعبدالعزيز-ت2ذ]

عمل محترفين واتقان جميل

[@MrPostFrame]

Thank you!

[@alext8828]

1/2" pex kills the water pressure. Use copper or 3/4" pex.

[@claudesz]

in Australia we are not allowed to do any of this unless you’re a plumber I’ll never need any of this 😂but I fine is so interesting

[@MrPostFrame]

Thankful we have the option here!

[@randytaylor4459]

Can you use cpvc instead of copper.

[@faantasticman]

Did you use foam instead of glueing and bracing fot 24 hrs? What is your process? Thanks!

[@محمدعبدالعزيز-ت2ذ]

sehr Schön

[@MrPostFrame]

Thank you!

[@marcusjames3035]

Do you cut the hole for shower valve the same size as the mud ring then just slip mud ring back inside the hole?

[@frankjacks6362]

You stated that you drilled a 3 1/2" hole in the shower. My instructions shows 4". Which is best and why?

[@chrisk1669]

Mine says 4" too!

[@elreypochungui]

One question... what happened if I install the shower valve up side down or to the side? Mine is a pfister valve ...because right now when I turn off the valve the shower head is still leaking water🤷🏽

[@traviscaudill8945]

Closest I've ever been to first!

[@MrPostFrame]

Haha we have some quick commenters!

[@nickmcallister1379]

How do you tighten the copper tub spout without going behind the wall with a wrench did not show what is needed for a remodel lol

[@skoalsoldier]

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time he says something is solid. Just kidding. Don’t do this. You’ll die. Love this channel 😋

[@MrPostFrame]

Haha Thank you!

[@user-oz7oc6lv3f]

My contractor installed the handle for this set where, when you turn it on, the water STARTS at hot and goes to cold when you turn the handle counter-clockwise. Can you tell me how can I correct this?

[@mendonesiac]

The mixer cartridge must be installed upside down. That's a dangerous set up that the instructions for this unit specifically warn about.

I have a question. I have a similar model but it has the smooth black piece for thicker wall as and there is no threads. I’m stuck I don’t know what to do. It’s my last step. The plumber installed the thick wall 2 3/4 max black plastic smooth piece. My instructions have me lost as there are not many words. Help a mom out please!

[@SaraSmilesandCreates]

Was it the knock out piece? My plumber put that over the top and it took me forever to notice it

[@nneelix]

Nice, looking good. Couple of suggestions. You can also use brass nipples of various lengths when getting distance from drop ear to spout if you dont have one of those fancy spouts. Also just use a pipe wrench when tightening up that copper stub, less work than wandering around to the other side and trying to get a pair of pliers up behind the blocking. Since the copper pipe is hidden in the spout no need to worry about scuffing up the copper a bit with wrench marks. Also you need a right angle impact, easier than trying to toe screw those blocks in tight spaces.

[@marvstevens4013]

What do you do with a p or s trap on the first floor like on a shower stall., Do i bury the s trap in the concrete ??? I'm a sub, Thanks i love the videos, they are so much help, this is definatley my favorite channel on youtube. I cannot wait to se what you use for the slide bottom. I am building a pole house in the spring, here in south dakota. I also want a slide but from upper living quarters to my shop side, I was thinking 26" wide 12' long PVC Corrugated Roof Panel or plywood with a 24" wide continous roll of tin attached. Thank you so much

[@mattgenk]

Drill any turkey with your bow recently?

[@MrPostFrame]

Nope, saving that for spring!

[@JackyJenkins]

What about not having copper. Have threaded nipple

[@Reedith]

Why not use the text a and compression fittings for everything why use copper and solder ?

[@George_us]

I did not follow what you said in the beginning of your video. You have a diverting valve to direct water to either the shower head or the tub and it doesn't matter if you used PEX or copper. You could also use "Uponor Pex" if you aren't happy with small inside diameter of regular Pex.

[@plumbbuild6517]

G George , If you noticed in the video there was no diverter valve only the mixing valve ,therefore you need to use copper for the tub spout ,if you use PEX even if its uponor water will come out the shower head if you're trying to use just the tub spout, the inside diameter of PEX is smaller than copper, every mixing valve I've ever used says not to use PEX for tub spout or shower riser , right on the box.

[@benhellerman3071]

one more step closer to drywall

Yep!

Hex wrench is an allen wrench you could explain to your viewers as an aside, hope this helps. Best installation video yet on tub controls.

[@rafiddeedollah420]

This channel seems to focus a lot on the very technical part of the overall house construction such as the mechanical, plumbing, ventilation and water/heating systems. While all those aspects do have immense contribution towards the overall building of the home, the civil engineering aspects provides more satisfying viewing pleasure to most of the audiences (just my personal view). Hence, I would suggest the channel to re-focus your efforts on macro contents that would excite the majority of the general viewers. All these details technical contents should be given less airtimes than the macro construction contents in order to garner the enjoyment of watching the outcomes of your construction projects. Anyway, again it is just my personal opinion, and you retain the absolute rights over what u wish to share in you own youtube channel...

[@mendonesiac]

I strongly disagree.
