I attached pictures of the shower plumbing done by licensed plumber and inspected and approved. I'm wondering if it looks like good work? #1 is the big view and #2 is a closeup of the spaghetti that concerns me, #3 is the valve.
Previously this plumbing was hooked up to a tub, now it's a shower. The existing plumbing is the old tarnished copper. So down a foot off the floor you see the existing 3/4" converted to 1/2" and the old risers.
What concerns me is he left in the old risers and so took a few more 90's with the hot water. There are also the required risers above the valve.
My question are these extra risers and turns: 1) a problem, 2) not a problem, 3) a good thing?
I bought what I think is a high quality Moentrol 3300 transfer valve capable of running two heads. I would think I would want the smoothest flow possible. And that would come from cutting out the old risers and taking the shortest route to the value which is 2 90s? Maybe even using 3/4" all the way up to the value then downsize to 1/2"?
