| I will be remodeling the wife's bathroom in a week and want to make sure I have all the right parts to hopefully cut down on daily trips to the store
The I am replacing the old shower unit with a new fiberglass unit. The old shower faucet is a single handle control, but not like the newer ones. The handle points straight down in the off position, then you have to pull it slightly away from the wall and to the left or right for water. It is not like the ones we have seen at the plumbing supply where you turn the handles clockwise/counterclockwise to control the temp.
Is it possible to just replace the insides so I do not have to do more plumbing work in the wall than necessary, or should I just get a new mixing valve and do all the soldering/joints required?
Here is the faucet and mixing valve I was thinking of going with if the old unit has to come out.
