Supply lines for roman style tub faucet?

[Plumber69]

Installing a drop in tub. Only way to hook water up is with at least 5 foot flex lines. Do you think 3/8th flex lines would have enough flow.

NO!

NO!

Then what would I use... Flex laundry supplies

 

[Plumber69]

I tested it out before dropping it in. And it has pretty good flow

If YOU are happy with it, the that is all the matters. I would NOT have connected it that way. WHy do you have to use such long connectors?

The faucet is mounted on the lip of the tub that you are dropping in?

I use 1/2" PEX for those. That gives pretty good flow.

Bringing the supply pipes closer (like in Terry's picture or by extending the copper pipes) is much better than using 5' long connectors.

The tub sits on a 8 inch platform which sits on concrete. Tub drops in a Fibre glass surround. There is no access to the faucet. Just a small access hatch to connect drain and supplies to the cr valves.
