019 Install a Shower Panel

Ever since I saw the first shower panel on some home improvement show, I was hooked. They looked great and seemed like an easy way to get a lot of pre-plumbed features. I've watched a lot of DIY television and they never show how these shower panels are installed. I even talked to a handful of plumbers, in real life no less (the way we did it before the internet) and no one seemed to know. After MUCH research, I figured out one way. In this episode, I will go into every detail about how I put one up. If there are any plumbers out there, I'd love to hear how you pros do it. As if the aesthetics and functionality of a shower panel in of itself aren't enough, I also found some unexpected improvements. It used to take several minutes for the water to get warm, now it's ready in under a minute. Flushing the toilet used to cause a scalding temperature spike but now that's no longer the case either. Obviously, I'm much happier with the new setup.
