Field ServiceProduct Selection & Quality3MediumPlumber$ implied
A plumber needs to replace an old 2-handle shower valve centered on a stud, but the remodel plate may not cover the new offset valve position.
No standard oversized or adjustable trim plate is available to cover large gaps when a valve must be offset from the original hole, forcing plumbers to improvise.
