My plumber roughed in a Delta shower valve body last week, and is unfortunately on vacation this week. When I started hanging the cement board yesterday I realized the valve is sitting currently 1/4" too far forward.
My question is, do the copper lines running to the valve need to be redone to accommodate moving it back 1/4", or can I simply move the stringer and valve back and just flex the copper pipes by that much? The copper comes up through the floor behind the tub, comes up about a foot before it T's off for the vanity's supply, and then continues up about another foot and a half before terminating at the valve.
