What type of strapping can be used for plumbing? - Pic included
Great site. As a homeowner trying to handle an extensive master bath remodel I have found Terry's site to be invaluable.
One question that has come up in my mind in a effort to be as thorough as possible before I button up the walls concerns metal strapping.
I am installing a grohetherm valve and Grohe volume control in the new shower. For those who have worked with their stuff I think you would agree that it takes some creativity to mount those buggers especially if you are not using copper (using pex - hope that is okay).
I have fabricated a wood panel that does the job well but I have used galvanized strap (and Sheetrock screws) to hold the valves to the boards. I was assuming that the brass and strap wouldn't react with one another but was hoping for a little more insight into proper materials. Thanks for the help.
