    Moen 8343, Can PEX be used with Moen tub/shower with handheld shower -commercial 8343

    Ok, So just to be clear. Both the temp valve and the diverter valve are 1/2". Should we use 3/4" pex to maintain the volume or use 1/2" PEX. In looking at the 1/2" PEX fitting compared to 1/2 copper fitting I can see that the pex is a smaller opening.

    Americast Tub creaking

    We installed an Americast bathtub during our bathroom remodel. In the process of tiling the surround we have noticed the it creaks ALOT.
