I'm needing to make some adjustments to the plumbing as I'm rebuilding our shower and am going from a dual handle to a single mixer.
My plan is cut the copper pipes near the floor, put on a sharkbite with a ball valve, then run pex the remainder of the distance (2-3 feet) up to the valve.
My question is if I can attach another shark bite elbow directly to the valve like this:
And run the pex into this elbow and be done, or if that is a no-go and I need to have another short run of pex between the elbow and the valve? I just didn't know if connecting the elbow to the valve would either negatively affect performance, or perhaps was a code violation?
Thanks for the help!
