Step 16C) Temperature Stabilization: Materials and Tools
All these materials are things you can find at a good hardware store.
-Check valve. If you are installing it in the hot water line, make sure it is one that is OK with hot water.
-Adapters to connect the fittings on the check valve to the pipe. There are lots of ways to do this, but I got adapters from the threaded fittings on the valve to solderable copper fittings, and got four solderable copper street elbows.
-Plumbing solder and flux. Even you don't plan to drink from the shower, somebody else might, or you might be wrong about where the pipe goes, so don't use (toxic) lead solder.
Tools:
Wire brush to clean the inside of solder fittings prior to soldering.
Torch for soldering
Hack saw
Bucket
