Hello.
I'm planning to put a niche in my shower. Two of the walls are exterior walls (2x4 construction) so there is only one interior wall to work with. This wall contains all of my plumbing. I have the shower pressure balancing valve at about 48" and the shower outlet at about 78". If I install a Kerdi 12" x 20", how far about the PBV should I place the bottom 2x4 used to support the niche? I am thinking that there may be considerations regarding clearance of the shower trim (exterior) and clearance for the pipe going from the PBV to the connector for the shower head outlet.
Right now the pipe bring water to the shower head goes straight up the wall. The pipe enters the connector from the bottom. Can this connector be rotated and installed 90 degrees to its current setup. I am thinking I will need to do this as the pipe will be routed around the niche.
Thanks!
