That delta valve was designed that way to help absord shock from the faucet shutting off fast. It was also designed to be removed without cutting a wall open. The straps are not necessary.

Setting the delta shower valve, as recommended in the instructions, using the black plastic plate causes the valve handle to stick out waaaaay to far. Personally I think it looks like ass. Don't use a 2x4 to the back of the studs to mount it on, use a 1 x 4 or something. Thank me later

@@urjnlegend actually, a copper strap will hold up better in this particular case because the galvanized strap is going to corrode fairly quickly due to being in contact with the brass. Placing the zinc-coated strap so it is not in contact with brass and using stainless steel screws would work fine though.
