I’m going to follow the advice of someone else and just screw it back but you bring up another issue that I would like to tackle. For clarity my issue was never the valve but the hoses poking out and I figured if I have to remove the valve to address the hoses I might as well get a valve that functions better. You are correct that it is some builder nonsense.
What should I be telling a plumber to do to fix the transition so it’s not pushing out? I want to have an idea what I’m asking for so I don’t get taken advantage of and over charged.
