Is using nipples/FPT ~outdated~ in use/design/practice.
It's been awhile since I've done a major renov, but for any project with *exposed* plumbing, I generally use Chrome Nipples, with Chrome FPT angle stops.
For this application, it's a bathroom.
I am also planning to incorporate a tile-over access panel, somewhere withing the bathroom where I'll be putting stop valves for the water feeds to the bathroom.
I suppose it's a personal aesthetic decision, as the 5/8 will expose some copper, depending on how close you *cut it*.
