I'm going to attempt to derail this thread with some actual project questions.

Anybody have any ideas how to mount this valve? Most Kohler valves come with mount points that can be screwed to a backer 2x4, but this one seems to be absent of those. My thoughts are that it is held in place with rigid copper pipe that is strapped in place, but I'm using PEX so that's not going to help much. Any ideas oh how to mount this beast?

(Notes: Yes, I'll be using teflon tape, i'm just testing the fittings. I'll probably get a longer pipe between the valve and the spout based on clearance between the valve cover and tub spout.)






it's okay to kink the pex lines it works better that way

Isnt California crazy about getting permits for remodels? I only know this from listening to Adam Carolla.

Youll never be able to sell this house if this stuff isnt up to code.

If an inspector see you doing remods with no permits you can get into CRAZY trouble.

Yes. Therefore-

He's standing in most of the pictures. Also, this is a second floor bathroom. If he's good enough to climb stairs, he's good enough to get into a tub.

You need to able to access that junction box. The second picture appears to show that it's completely enclosed and sealed off. OP claims that whole thing is removable but has doubled down on "gently caress you guys."

Is this a code thing on houses built after X date or something? I've never actually sought them out, but in the all the houses I've spent significant time in, I've never seen easily accessible junction boxes.

Are you sure? That is to say, a majority of connections in a properly built home will be in outlet, light, and switch boxes. Outside of unfinished spaces, there shouldn't actually *be* junction boxes. So it's not that you are in homes with hidden ones, you're likely just in homes where the only true junction boxes are in the attic or unfinished basement where they belong.

Not sure how long it's been code for, but I'd hazard a guess at 'a long time' - Anecdotally in my years of doing demo, I can count on one hand the amount of times I opened a wall/ceiling and found a junction box I wasn't expecting - Every time being in a poorly renovated basement.

You're right about it being a long time. Knob and tube allowed for in wall splices, but that's about it.

Also, you can get around a lot of the electrical code for fixtures like that by making them plug in appliances. That way, buried junctions suddenly become legal. We told him to do that in the electrical thread. That's why I asked him to post a picture of its power cord, and he didn't deliver.

Edit: both the plug and outlet for this "appliance" have to be accessible too BTW.

I told you exactly what it would take for me to deliver, but since it wouldn't change your mind there was no point in delivering just to make you happy.

But if you'd open your eyes a bit you can see quite clearly in the very pic you quoted that there is an appliance cord connected to the junction box right there just waiting to be plugged in. The plug and outlet are just as accessible as a refrigerator. But this still won't change your opinion.
