I'm building a new home in Mexico. The construction is 8" block. I've been looking at shower valve assemblies and trying to decide if one or another would be easier to install in block construction. Most of the installation packets I've read only describe installation in wood frame construction. I have very little plumbing experience, but will have to learn to assure everything is installed correctly.
I'm up in the U.S. shopping for valves. I just looked a Hansgrohe valve cartridge assembly at a local plumbing outlet and installation seems pretty straight forward, however installation aside, I'm looking for quality and ease of maintenance also. It seems a lot of experienced plumbers prefer Moen however.
Do any of you with installation experience have a preferred brand of shower valve assembly for both quality, and ease of installation/securing the assembly within block construction?
Thanks.
