both sides had 4 body spays each 1 fixed head each 1 rain head each and the valve on the left that that had 2 volume controls by the thermo had a hand held. when i trimmed it out i tested everything at the same time and water would just piss out. i read the paperwork that came with the thermos and it was only good for 11 gpm. the ho bought the wrong valves. so they bought new ones that were good for 22 gpm. it still kinda sucked cuz they were altmans, and altmans sucks.

So, I will have 2'2" from the back wall to the center of the first valve, then 2'2" from center of valve one to valve 2. That will leave 2'2" from the center of the second valve to the shower door. This to me seems to be quite comfortable with two people in there. I mentioned to the boss's wife that when I do my shower I am installing my shower head in the ceiling. Now she wants one. No biggie except my boss wants 3 mixing valves now! 2 will be for the wall heads and one for the ceiling head. So 6'6" divided by 4 is 1'7" center to center! That means they will be shoulder to shoulder in there! My solution is to just use 2 mixing valves with 2'2" centers, then install a diverter valve to switch from the wall head to the ceiling head. This way it will eliminate one mixing valve and keep clearance between the 2 other valves.

WWYD?

Our showers 5' wide and I set it up with valves on the two side walls. It's nice not getting in each others way. Sharing a wall with a shower that big seems strange. Oh well he is your boss

Finally got a chance to get the shower roughed in. Here is some pix of it. The 2 outer valves are for the wall heads, the center one is for the 9" ceiling head.

BTW, I looped the hot and cold lines just to be sure to even out the pressure. I dont want to piss off the boss' wife!

I dont like how you did the hot water and theres no nail protection(yet) How big are the holes you drilled for the pipe to run through...it looks tight?

**Bill** · 03-02-2010, 09:29 PM

I am not finished TM, yes, I still need nail plates, I was called off to go somewhere else. The holes for the 3/4 are 1" and the holes for the 1/2" are 3/4".

BTW, whats wrong with the hot water? its the same as the cold.
