Does anyone have any tips on how to run a replacement shower supply pipe without opening the wall? I have access to the rear of the valve. I was thinking I would remove the copper supply line going to the shower from the valve, and install a pex adapter, run pex straight up the wall replacing the copper. I would attempt to remove the copper by dropping it a bit at a time and cutting sections as I go. The elbow does not appear to be tied in as the head moves front and back quite a bit. I would first cut the elbow off through the shower head hole and attach some line (to assist in snaking the pex) before trying to drop the pipe down. With the pex in place, I would tie in a new elbow, maybe trying to tie it to a cross member if there is one there. If there is no way to secure it, perhaps blow in foam to hold it in place.
Are there better ways to replace the line??
Thanks
