I'm trying to mount the tub valves/handles on one side of my tub, and the actual spigot on the other side. Looks like I need a 1/2in NPS to 1/2in NPS hose with ~80" length.
Any clue where to find this, or do I need to add copper pipe between the two sides?

You'll probably have to splice a few of them together. Hardware stores should have compression fittings and such for that. It's done all the time.

Adding Pex or copper tubing would be far better than any flex hose.

The hoses you could find, even if you have to couple them together, will be so "small" that your flow would be compromised. Use copper to get full flow from the spout.

I'm always open to learning better and correct ways of doing things and the reasons. Thanks.
