191: Bathroom Pipes and Shower Remodeling

Bathroom remodeling can be a pain…it’s nice to have a support group. Today we talk about finding pipes in walls and the tub lip problem.

Pipes in walls can be re-routed using standard soldered fittings or SharkBite fittings.

If you have access to the pipes via an access panel I would recommend using SharkBites.

Check them out here

But if the pipes will be hidden in the wall I do recommend soldering instead of SharkBites.

I got a second question from Lynda about what to do with the tub lip…should she put building panels over the lip or rest them on the lip?

My recommendation is to put panels on top of the lip.

Listen to the show to hear why.
