I know this can be a touchy subject based on access of the lines, but here goes...
Ok, so our bath / shower needed a new faucet set including mixer as the other one had severely restricted flow. Well I had to cut the supply lines above the shutoffs and didn't want to bother with brazing as I would probably mess it up bad. That being said, I used some shark bites and flex hose to attach the supply lines to the new mixer. Well it'h holding fine and doing it's job giving us a working bath again. Here's me query though, since the access panel to the back end of the "system" is behind a panel held to the wall with four screws and not obstructed in a closet behind boxes but instead seen from the hallway. Would you said it would be gtg since access to the plumbing is a non issue if you don't consider the removal of just four screws ?
I ask because I know people say to use solid piping if access is limited but since I can get to what I need to when I need to if I need to rather quickly would you say flex hose is ok to feed the new mixer ?
Ty.
Edit: To be clear, the flex hosing I am referring to are the flex faucet lines you might otherwise find under your sink attaching the main lines to your sink with the attached nuts.
