I am just starting a shower project. It will be done with Kerdi/Tile and a I bought a shower panel with massage jets. The massage panel hooks up with stainless steel braided hose with 1/2" threaded fittings. I was thinking of putting an OxBox

lavatory outlet behind where the shower panel will hang so that I would have an easy way to do the plumbing... turn the water back on to the upstairs... and have plenty of time to finish the remodel (at the moment I have to turn the water off to the only other working shower in order to work on it). There is a tiled shower on the other side of the wall so I can't easily make an access panel.
My question is whether or not the valves in the OxBox would significantly reduce the water flow once everything is done. The shower panel does have the option to use the massage jets at the same time as the showerhead and the handheld... though I highly doubt I would ever use more than two at a time. I could also use the washing machine box, I will need a fitting adapter either way (one is 3/8" and the other is 3/4"). It doesn't really look to me like the actual opening for water flow is any bigger in the washing machine valves than the lav valves.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
