Hi,

I am new to plumbing. I do not know what to do in this situation.

I am remodeling a bathroom, and I am attempting to replace the bath/shower trim before I finish the cement/tile to make sure it will actually fit/work.

Anyway, I had a Delta system, so I bought new Delta trim. Old system was pre-2006. It seems like a nice fit, except the valve brace stem piece (forgive me for that terminology) on the old system is longer than the stem on the new system, in other words, I might have to replace the cartridges, when I thought I might get away with keeping everything in tact and just swapping the trim.

Does this mean I have to also replace the entire valve system (the new Delta kit came with a 4-way Valve, cartridge, and all the trim)? Is there another way to accomplish this without replacing the entire system?

I've attached pictures, the shame of it is, how close it is to fitting. The 2 pieces of cement board are so I can estimate how far the system sticks out from the wall once backerboard/tile are installed.
Thanks so much,

Jay
