Good evening everyone.
I'm back from a long trip for work, and can get back to remodeling my master bathroom. So far, I have all parts sitting in the garage for installation (Americh showerbase, Shower & Floor tile, grohe safe valve, grohe shower handle/head, Toto toilet, ronbow cabinet & sink, faucet, exhaust fan, etc..). I have the bathroom gutted, subfloor repaired and hardibacker installed.
The old shower valve that I took off, which was in bad shape, was screwed into a horizontal 2x4 that was mounted between two studs in the shower frame. The new valve I have, a Grohesafe 35-250-000 Pressure Balance Rough in valve, will not fit against the 2x4. Fine, I'll rip the 2x4 out.
The question is - how to I mount the valve to something solid, so it isn't just sitting on a hot & cold pipe? Shouldn't it be mounted to the shower frame somehow? The instructions do not show how to install it, nor can I find any installation pictures of similar models anywhere. Do you have any advice?
