Hello all,
I've been doing a bathroom remodel and I only planned on re-tiling the walls and not touching the plumbing, but while I've got the walls off the studs I figured it might be a good time to deal with a plumbing issue.
The shower/bath in one of my bathrooms has the hot and cold reversed. The plumbing was put in 1998 when the place was built, so there the valve is not pressure or hydrostatic. The feeder lines appear to be some kind of plastic.
I know with the newer valves all you need to do is pull the valve control out and then flip it to reverse the hot/cold feed. Do you think that is possible with the older valve located in my shower? If not, what is the best way to fix the issue? Switch the feeder lines? Put in a new control valve?
Thanks
