Originally, I had planned by Hand Shower Elbow (Shaving/Cleaning Only) to be centered between a diverter and the corner, in line with my shower diverter valve at 48" from the floor.
The shower head is on an opposite wall.
The problem, is that because of my niche placement on the "dry side" of the shower (in line with my diverter) I can't do the classic "center under diverter".
For this renovation, I need to move some studs in my bearing wall. I installed a header, and created some sweet deep niches above and below my diverter.
So, my original plan was to sneak the Drop Ear Elbow under my bearing wall 2x6 header (where the diverter and niches reside) so I didn't need to drill thru my freshly made jack/king stud.
Of course, as bad luck would have it, my drain center changed a bit, which pushed my diverter into the corner a bit further, along with my niches and now "between the corner and diverter" is smack dab in the middle of my king stud.
Alternatives:
- Hand Shower between Diverter and glass door. Plenty of open space there.
- Ditch a Niche, put it under the diverter (although I still have a shaving niche down there too)
- Up and Over: go up alongside the showerhead supply line, thru the top plate, into the unconditioned attic space, then back down on the otherside of the king/jack.
- Drill the King/Jack and put it as close to centered between diverter and corner as possible.
