I'm installing a shower valve and diverter. The shower circuit is going to be a home run using PEX.
Is there any benefit to use a valve body with 1/2" inlets and then sweat in a couple elbows and PEX adapters?
Will the PEX with bends and shower faucet fit within a 14" stud cavity?
Also, I think I read here that using PEX to the shower drop ear is not a good idea. Why is this? or is this a memory that I fabricated?
