I had to follow the manufacturer instructions shown here
They show it installed like this
My implementation is below, I can still improve it as I am using a sharkbite fitting there
I have two problems here:
-as you can see the cover is not attached yet to the wall because the braided connect is pushing the PEX pipe to the right and it will look weird if I leave it like that
the cover that I installed there is not going to help to support the pipe to stay perpendicular to the wall because I can't anchor it properly in the wall (the rough in opening behind the cover plate is too wide and the anchors will come to close to the edge of that hole)
-
-second problem is that I could not replace the NG coupling shown below; I tried to use an sharkbite female FNPT fitting there but to my surprise the shutoff valve provided by the manufacturer did not go into the make connector more than two-three threads and it was leaking
the male sharkbite NPT fitting would connect with both ends of the N and G piece so that seems to have standard threads which means the G Mange side of the shutoff valve is also standard so I do not understand why I could not connect the shutoff valve straight to a shark female NTP fitting
