I need to rough-in steam shower piping and need help with a list of parts to buy (I haven't bought the steam unit yet).
It looks like the output of the steam units (planning on the MS400E) steam supply pipe is just 1/2" NPT, and at the end I need something like a drop ear fitting and a temp nipple pipe while the shower stall gets built. Instructions say to use 1/2-inch brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to steam head, so obviously no threaded iron.
So what's the right/best way? There are a lot of options, brass/lead free brass/copper, NPT/sweat?
Or am I overthinking this, just pick one, grab a union and measure it out, install it with the right pitch and be done?
Thanks
