I'm try to figure out the layout/function of the master shower (walk-in). While I was at my local plumbing supply, the guy talked about installing a toe tester in the shower. Essentially a tub spout (though I guess they also make small "specific" spouts) with a diverter that you test the water before sending it to the shower heads.
The plan is to install 3 shower heads (wall, rainfall and handheld), tub spout, mixing valve (Delta) and diverter (Delta 3/6 function).
I've seen posts by HJ recommending installing the toe tester ~ 18" AFF. I was going to put the mixing valve in at ~ 44" AFF. Delta's paperwork indicates the tub spout should be 8-18" below the mixing valve with only 1x elbow.
I wanted to put the controls centered in the shower stall and have the spout off to the side. So that would entail a 26" drop, 2x elbows and a 16" lateral.
Would this cause problems, i.e. too much restriction to the tub spout? Supply lines are 1/2" PEX and plan to use 1/2" copper to tub spout/diverter/shower heads.
