Shower valve
Yeah, it was no picnic getting that valve out. Had to stick both hands inside the 4 inch hole to reconnect the water lines. It was pretty much a blind operation.
Had to switch gaskets because I dropped the original ones inside the wall. I soaked the valve body in CLR to remove any buildup that I could not see. The sticky poppet valves did not look dirty, but they would not move freely, requiring the application of silicone grease.
It sure was nice to take a long hot shower after I finished with the repair 😁
