The valve is connected to the chrome pipe. It looks like it's a one-piece unit that was sweated onto the copper stub. Plumber wasn't planning on coming back.

Chrome is a sleeve, but I believe it's sweated on and slightly bigger than the copper coming out of the wall. Not sure if there's a compression connection that would work with the bigger diameter.

Tile guy still had a bit more work to do, so we ended up opening the wall and moving the supply line. I'm happy with the location, but not how far the shut-off valve sticks out. Plumber put the shut-off valve on while I was out of the house or I would have vetoed it. Not sure if it's worth...

Thanks for all your help! From the edge of the white label, which is big further back from the edge of the box, it's going to be even further off, probably closer to 1/2 inch. Looks like we may need to do some re-work or maybe use an extension as a last resort. I assume the melted plastic...

Assuming my calculations are right (1/2 for the concrete board, .37 for the tile, 1/8 for the thinset, and a 1/4 shim so the concrete board overhangs the tiling flange on the Kohler Bellwether tub) it looks like the edge of the plastic is going to roughly 1/4 inch back from the front of the...

I'm in the middle of my bathroom project. I'm doing a lot of the work myself, but not the plumbing. The plumber came by the other day to install the Grohe Universal Rough in Valve. During the install the plumber's heat shield burned through and the bottom portion of the plastic rough-in box...
