Clinical Trail 5th session completed 4/24/24.
Hello all,
I'm replacing a Price Pfister valve body (0x8-310A to a 0x8-340A) The new one has integrated valve stops. The replacement one has outside thread fittings with 1/2 inch inside fitting for soldering. The instructions do read that soldering is one way to connect the pipes after removing all plastic parts and cartridge. It's copper pipe all the way. My question for the pros is do you prefer to solder or use threaded female fittings to the valve body?
