I am in the process of remodeling my bathroom and want to go exotic with the shower. I have researched the issue and still have a few unknowns at this time. I have 3/4" to the Thermostatic value in my existing shower and will just move this to the new location.
If I wanted to use two 3/4 Thermostatic valves am I asking for trouble by just Teeing the 3/4" in front of the values? Optimum would be to have 1" but that is not going to happen.
So now I am trying to decide based on the Teeing question above if it would be better to run one 3/4" Thermostatic valve rated at 18GPM driving a total of 20GPM functions (5 body sprays, one shower head, one shower can and one hand held), I probably would never run them all a the same time but if I did, would it be a disaster? (I am planning on running 3/4 for my Body spray loop and 1/2" to the showers). Or would I be better off going the two 3/4" Thermostatic valves or one 3/4" for the Body Sprays and one 1/2" for the Showers?
I am just looking for some input based on actual experience on what works and what does not.
Thanks,
Lenny B
