Hey everyone. I posted earlier this week regarding our new bathtub hitting the bathtub spout. We did get a plumber out here who replaced the entire valve for us (picture attached). He asked to call once we got the wall surround up so he could do the trim.
We were able to put the tub spout and handle on ourselves and went to cut the water on, but it doesn’t look like the plumber soldered the pipes in the back (I assume he was going to do that when we called him to come back).
Now the plumber can’t come back out until Tuesday and we need the shower up and running before then. I’m personally not comfortable with soldering (especially in such a tight space and with the tub being acrylic) so I’m wondering if there is anything I can buy that will connect and seal the two pipes together, so we can use the shower again!
I’m attaching pictures of both pipes. I know the one on the right needs to be soldered/sealed, but I can’t tell if the one on the left needs to be soldered/sealed, as well.
I appreciate any help.
*not sure why the pictures are rotated. Sorry about that.
