Replacing single handle tub faucet
Hello:
I need to replace a single handle mohen (20 year old) faucet, mainly because I am sick of replacing $15 cartridges! Anyway----I have no access panel behind my wall on the other side. I do have a tub surround on the faucet side. My question is: Can it be done from the surround side if I cut a 5 or 6 inch diameter hole in the surround? I can then cover the hole with the new plate. Is this possible or do I have to somehow make an access panel to get at the thing? I don't know if a 5 or 6 inch hole will do it----give me enough room to change it. thx for any info. |
