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

\\n

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

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\\u2026should she put building panels over the lip or rest them on the lip?

\\n

\\n

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