Hello,
I'm installing a hansgrohe interactiv thermostatic mixing valve. The instructions for the rough-in component are non-existent.
My supply lines are PEX. There doesn't seem to be anything on the rough-in component that would allow it to be attached to framing. This leads me to believe that it should be plumbed with copper and the copper attached to the framing. I could do it this way and connect the PEX to the copper but I was wondering if I'm missing something. Is it typical that the copper pipes leading to the shower valve are what supports the valve? I guess that's the way I've always seen it but it seems like there is a problem when using PEX.
Thanks for any advice you can give me,
Mike
