I'm remodeling two bathrooms consecutively, and have the common wet wall between them open. The master bath has a shower only, with no access to the back side of the valve and drop-ear when tiled. Likewise, the bathtub/shower in the second bathroom has no easy access to the back of the valve.
Is there any point to installing inline shut-off valves in addition to the screwdriver shutoffs on these valves? I plan to leave access to behind the lav in both of the bathrooms, and could install small ball valves that could be shut-off in an emergency to allow the rest of the system to stay active. Or is this gilding the lily?
I'm using Danze valves with integrated screwdriver shut-offs, but from what I've read, most screwdriver shut-offs typically calcify and freeze shut down the road, when you most need them.
What do y'all think?
TIA
