I didn't have to sweat anything directly onto the valve, and the problem I was having was too much heat. Once I dialed the torch back a bit, things went a lot better.

After all was said and done, I couldn't figure out why I didn't have hot water in the bathrooms. It would be hot for a second, then immediately go cold. The kitchen and garage sink were fine. Well, this fixture comes with a plug to use until you're ready to install the valve, inside, it's all open, so the cold water, with a slighter higher line pressure, was overpowering the hot water. I'll need to temporarily install the valve so we can take showers.
