I am installing a Delta Classic Tub/Shower. The instructions call for a minimum 8 inch long pipe (1/2 " thick copper or iron) to be used for connecting the valve body to the tub spout. I didn't realize it called for 8 inches and the one I installed is about 5 inches. Why would it need to be 8 and what might happen if I leave it at 5. Would there be any issues?
