Shower valve in PEX

[PMikeG]

I am using PEX for the first time and installing a new shower valve that has two inputs hot and cold, and three outputs. Just want someone with more experience with PEX to look at my rough in and let me know if this will work and is acceptable.

Your layout seems okay! One thing to watch out for is thermal expansion—those long PEX runs can expand and contract, so make sure there’s a bit of slack or use expansion loops to handle it. Also, since this is for a shower, check that the valve is properly supported and level to avoid any shifting when you attach the trim kit later. We’ve often seen issues with valves moving slightly, causing alignment problems. A quick double-check now can save you a lot of hassle later!

It looks like a plumber didn't do it.
