Hello All
a quick outline
1. demoed my master bathroom (2d floor) to the studs, removed a wall between a walk in closet and masterbath to make a bigger bathroom.
2. there was a tub at the wall that i removed
3. i am puting in a standing shower using kohler valves, trims and shower components.
4. i am closing on of the doors to the room and putting a double vanity there
5. i am rotating the toilet 90 degrees., this also means that i would need to shift the toilet flange a few inches.
whats been done and what i have found out
1. i have 1/2 plumbing
2. the toilet flange was 13 inches from its current wall., left where it is., i is 17ish inches from the back wall (i have a pic that shows the flange location)
3. the copper has been complete for the double vanity., still need to do plumbing for the shower area., and move the drain
4. i want to place a 2nd drain and leave it under the floor, end capped. near that drain i also want to end cap or turn valve a cold/hot line, left in the wall... why? i want the option of being able to put a tub in a year or so from now..
kohler things i am geting
3 of these
kohler water tile
1 of this
kohler water tile shower head
1 of this
kohler handshower kit
and these
thermostatic valve
control valve, 3 of them
on the kohler shower book the schema on page 20
the kohler showebook
how is in wall plumbing done?
is it copper pipes sweated with the tees and elbows?
the elbows that the person doing the in floor pumbing is using is smooth on all sides, no thread... on the kohlers instructions i see them using nipples with tee's and/or elbowes.. i am guessing these are some kind of 1/2 to FIP elbows?
i know nothing about plumbing., but am willing to learn
and... none of the framing as been done yet for the shower., i do have some diagrams that i can post
