I'm doing a bath remodel with a vintage 4' cast iron tub, with wall mount faucet.
I need everything to get this going like I want - new faucet/riser, ring, supply lines, and drain/waste.
I've been advised that the quality of the decorative chrome you get from the boutique suppliers is poo. Further, I've been told that the chrome will eventually wind up green from the hard water in the area (Cincy).
I have no experience with this, but I don't want to spend $200-$300 on these parts only to have to scrap them.
The tub will be a few inches from a wall, but the lines will still be partially visible. I really don't want a gnarly PVC drain assembly there. I've been advised that braided stainless would be a good option for the supply lines.
Also - will I want shutoffs on the tub, or is this optional?
Advice?
