I am installing a Sterling/Kohler tub with integral tub surround similar to this one:
you may want to link to the Sterling web site.
For some reason, the instructions call for the tub spout elbow to be 25" off the floor minimum. Since the tub is 15" high, this puts the spout at 10" over the tub, which seems way too high. It has to be a bit higher than with the old tub because of the way the tub and walls fit together, but I see no reason why it has to be that high. Heck, if I put in in at that height, the valve will be too high to get at from behind via the access panel.
Does anyone know why this height would be specified? Maybe because of the way the walls assemble or something? Is there a standard height for the spout? How about for the valve?
