Building a custom steam shower with rainfall shower head, hand shower, and 6 body sprays. 3/4" pex supply to both hot and cold on 3/4" thermostatic valve and 3/4" line to the rainfall shower head as well. All valves will be Jaclo. Rainfall shower valve will be 3/4" the body spray jets and hand shower will be 1/2" volume valves
But a couple of questions though
1. For the 6 body sprays (1/2" each) is using a 6 port manifold fine or do I need a pressure balance loop?
2. Was thinking to use a separate volume control for each option (hand shower, body spray jets, and rainfall shower head) after the thermostatic valve instead of a diverter valve giving me more control will this be fine? or should I use a diverter valve? (if using a diverter valve of course i would have to have 1 volume control to turn the system on and off) but if no diverter valve then the separate volume controls would control the system individually.
thanks
