    Can this shutoff valve stem be cut to size?

    Thanks very much for the suggestion. I think I can manage that. I guess the biggest risk is completing breaking the stem somehow.

    Can this shutoff valve stem be cut to size?

    Here you can see (I hope) where the splines end.

    Can this shutoff valve stem be cut to size?

    Discouraging, but thanks for the insights. (Perhaps I should have insisted more strenuously to the plumber who put in the shutoff valves to put everything inside the wall behind an access panel.)

    Installing a new shower in a concrete floor, high-rise

    Thanks, JW. I will look into the Quick Drain USA device. If the neighbors downstairs were not also doing renovations (that they are going to move out for a while to get done), I probably wouldn't even ask them. Thanks again.

    Installing a new shower in a concrete floor, high-rise

    I have a similar question (and hope it's appropriate to add to this thread rather than start my own). I bought a condo in a mid-sixties building. The existing bathroom layouts are crowded and I would like to shift the toilet by no more than a couple of feet to allow me to replace the tub...
