Nov 27, 2020 · I’m going to branch off the 3/4 pex into the shower valve and was concern if 1/2 pex is efficient or do I need to use 3/4 pex because of the 1/2 pex día. being smaller and using 16 inch showerhead and handheld.

Feb 16, 2010 · Interesting. I'm about to start on re-plumbing my bathroom and just ran into the comment on the Kohler site about copper going to the shower spout (and using only 1 elbow). Our plans are to have the shower valve on the wall leading into the shower instead of underneath the spout. The run from the valve to the spout would be maybe 5-6ft.

Feb 1, 2017 · A typical shower head runs about 1.5 gpm, well within the capacity of a 1/2 Pex inch line. On the tub drop, running 3/4 Pex, which is larger than 1/2 copper ID solves the back pressure and dribble issue. Just need adapters to up-size to 3/4" Pex. I use the off-the-shelf Moen valve, which comes with 1/2" male outlets.

May 21, 2013 · What size PEX is typically used in the hot and cold water supply lines to the valve and from the valve to the shower head? I don't have the wall opened up yet so I don't know the size of the copper that's in there, but if the shower head only flows at 2.5 GPM, would anything more than 1/2 inch pex into the valve and to the shower head just be ...

May 29, 2011 · With that done, you can run pex. At the valve use a MIP x pex adapter (assuming your valve is threaded) Do your tub spout in soldered copper or galv. pipe. Do not use sharkbites there. You want it as rigid as possible or your spout will flop around:wink: Shark bite all of the valve if you want(not the spout). I don't have any real beef with them.

Jan 11, 2014 · I'm running 1/2" pex everywhere, but I can't figure out now to connect the 1/2" pex to the Delta Valve. See image. I thought the pex would slide over the threads on the Delta Valve and then I would crimp it. But it actually slides inside the Delta Valve. The instructions say I can use this with pex, but I'm not sure how.

Re: Pex to tub spout. Author: LemonPlumber (FL) Any material on a diver tor tub to shower application should reflect not only the manufacturers spec's but the flow rate that is expected below and in your concern above.I find the only time the size of the spout comes into play is if the flow rate is higher than the spec's .This will cause the water to …

Jul 5, 2008 · Depending on the shower valve you can use a female or male pex adapter off the valve into copper then to a shower ear pex and secure it to a 2x4 then the spout. Just use copper everyone is right the difference in ID between the pex and copper will make the shower head drip.

Feb 16, 2002 · Re: Shower Valve with Pex; Author: dlh (TX) yes, we have had many people post here about water coming out of the shower head when it should be coming out of the spout and it is almost always pex from the valve to the spout even though the directions on every shower vavle i have ever seen specifically says DO NOT USE PEX FROM VALVE TO SPOUT. and i would think to the shower head would also ...
