Plumbing, Shower Tap & Rose Height?

[Velophile]

Hi guys,

I'm part way though replacing my shower & need to lower the taps & rose outlet/elbow. The old shower was built on a timber plinth, about 250 ~ 300 above the floor. The replacement is now lowered to floor level.

Is there a standard for this?
Should I just aim for "about there" feels right?

Horror photo's to be posted later.

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve

First let me commend you on your fine choice of first names!

:D:D:D:D:D:D

I believe a call to your local REECE Plumbing or similar will answer your question for you - there are standards for such things though I dont have them in front of me right now. I measured the height of our shower taps and rose which are apparently " to code ".

they are as follows:

Taps 1050

Rose 1850

hope this helps

have fun!!!

ps. this might be a help, or at least a bit of fun
