Chris wants to know how to replace his shower valve?
\\n\\xa0
\\nCan he do this from inside the shower or does he need an access panel?
\\n\\xa0
\\nShould he just call a plumber?
\\n\\xa0
\\nI recommend replacing shower valves from the back of the shower or tub. It\\u2019s much easier to cut the copper and solder the pipes back together.
\\n\\xa0
\\nBut you can just replace the cartridge and escutcheon if your valve isn\\u2019t that old
\\n\\xa0
\\nHere\\u2019s a great video from This Old House on how do this\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\n\\n\\xa0
\\nNow, if you want constant temperature in the shower you might want to replace the old valve.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThis video, again from This Old House, shows how to install a new Pressure-Balance shower valve

\\nAll you need is to practice with some spare fittings and Type L copper pipe, which is thicker and better than Type K copper.
