Hi guys,
First post, so be gentle I'm sure this will be a question that six months from now I'll look back and wonder how I could ever have been so dumb!
I'm wanting to replace 1980s era PF bath/shower fixtures and mixer valve with new Delta parts. The wall is open and I know how to cut out the old valve and solder in a new one, but what I can't figure out is how to find a mixer valve body that will fit in the available wall space.
It's 2x4 framing that can't be made bigger. The old valve body is 3" but the new Delta unit has a valve body that is 5 1/2"....so...how do I find a mixer valve that will fit in a 2x4 wall opening?
Thanks...I know it's a dumb question, but after hours of research on the internet I had to cry Uncle and ask the experts.
Thanks for your help!
Lisa
