would it be wise for a threaded one inch shower valve

Sure but you may also want to consider plumber's dope. My pecking order is as follows: I first try teflon tape, if that does not work then plumbers dope, then permatex products like the one you are using. The permatex you are using is one of their stronger products for the particular circumstance. As you can see, it is an aviation product.

Yes, this product is water proof and is made for this type of situation. I used it on my car's water pump bolts.

For shower valve and similar usage (non-boiling), I would use PTFE tape or PTFE paste. (http://www.amazon.com/Ampro-A1441-PTFE-2-Inch-260-Inch/dp/B003YL4CJC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1418998557&sr;=8-2&keywords;=PTFE+tape).The Permatex 80019 Aviation sealant, I use it on fuel and oil lines.

Yes this is used on aircraft. You can also used a teflon paste they make too. Never use teflon tape it splits.

Well the specs do call for water sealing, however, I find teflon tape is a better way to go unless the threads have been cross threaded. Good luck.

I would think that would be no problem. The fitting can probably be replaced or you could use an adapter to reduce to the 1/4" line. It is just plumbing.

You can use slip or if you look close they have threads but yes theses are 1.5in valves. Trying to find me on the sucking side a thread to slip for my vacuum. I think the bigger thread is 2in this is on the inside of the pool for vacuums.

I don't know. My husband bought it because he's 6'1''. He mounted it on the wall and it works great for us. I would think that if you already have one shower head set up, you should be able to hook this one. Although I think it would look a bit strange.

I am using this valve in my stand up shower. I got rid of my tub in the remod. You still need to buy a Delta handle that will work with this valve though so keep that in mind. Hope that helps.

1" conduit is sturdy and works for mine. It can be found at most hardware stores.

We used a standard 1/2 inch hot water valve. The threads on the shower arm are flat, however, and don't screw into the standard valve. Sounds like using a die to fit the threads worked for some people, trying that... Otherwise someone on here said Light In The Box sells an adapter.

I can't comment about the codes and whether it would pass inspection, I used it for a DIY outdoor shower. But I didn't have any problems finding fittings that matched the threading. I ended up not using the 1/2" to 3/4" adapter that it came with and instead just used a 1/2" pex to 3/4" male threaded adapter because it was easier for my particular needs.

Not sure why you would want to, but check your dimensions and make sure there won't be any clashes... Otherwise, just build your own custom piping and use any shower head you want.

The unit I have is 7 1/2 inches long overall. It should fit you tank as about 1 inch of the valve, the threaded part, will, I suspect, be outside the tank.

My pole is 1" and there is still about a half inch of threads remaining, so I would think it would be fine.

No, this is a slip fit valve. It requires the fitting to be cemented. Threaded fitting can, however , be cemented into the openings .

It's a 1 1/4'' threaded piece that you need. Then all I did was pvc cement it to 1 1/2'' pipe.

It's for what I'd call a garden hose. If your "shower" hose has the same fittings as a garden hose, then yes, otherwise no.

No: the exterior threads would fit into a coupling for a 1/2 inch pipe, but not into a 1/2 inch pipe.

My pole is 1½" and there is still about a half inch of threads remaining, so I would think it would be fine.

It certainly wouldn't hurt. I would think it might be a good idea if you have a ranch style home with faucets at opposite ends of the house. I would suggest using just the one valve initially. You could always add another. All my installs have only required one valve.
