Hi there,
I am supply piping to the shower faucet and I had a question about if a route is acceptable. I have drawn two routes, one is in blue, and it would go through the back wall of the shower, and then around the corner to the faucet. The other, in red, goes between the ceiling drywall and the HVAC ducting, and then I would etch out 3/4" of the face of the top wall plate in order to have the piping recessed there, and then put a protective plate over top. Between the ceiling drywall and the duct there will be approximately 3/4", just enough for the 1/2" pipe.
Is the red route acceptable or would that be considered poor workmanship? The blue route would need a lot of 45/90s and I'm concerned it might restrict the flow...
I'd love to know what an experienced plumber would do. Thanks!
