    New shower - 1/2" supply; limited to 1/2" rough valve?

    Thanks, our contractor indicated that it might not be to code to step from 1/2" to 3/4" so we were confused. I can usually find other people's posts with similar issues and am failing on this one, so we're wondering why he would say that. (Also trying to reach our plumber)

    We did try this technique but were unsuccessful.

It seems like the rod would thread into the stopper or into a...
