Homeowner needing to convert a tub-to-shower without soldering is unsure about connecting a brass valve to unknown pipe type (CPVC or copper) in a way that meets code.

Existing solutions require soldering, but the user lacks the skills and confidence to solder safely, risking water damage. No product easily adapts a push-fit or threaded valve to unknown pipe types without soldering.
