hi all,
this is my first time posting. we are renovating our master bathroom and we want to vault the ceiling. the highest height will be over the shower. we are doing the Hansgrohe PuraVida 400 Air (15 inch) rectangular ceiling mount. i was thinking that we should level out the vault at around 10 ft so we don't have an incredibly long pipe for the shower head. my husband would like the ceiling to go higher (the max height we could go is 14ft).
my questions are:
-for a rain head shower of this size, what is a good height? i've heard 10-12 in above the tallest person (hubby is 6ft). But is 8 ft OK?
-if we decide to use a long pipe to make the shower head at ~8ft, will there be any issue with water hammer (something my contractor brought up), or other issues i'm not aware of?
-is this something routinely done (having a very long pipe)?
-what do plumbers normally do with a higher than normal ceiling height and a ceiling mount rain head? what is the longest pipe length you would recommend?
thanks!
