I've tried searching my brains out for an answer to this question, but haven't found anything here...
I am remodeling my bathroom and am roughing in the tub/shower supply plumbing. I'm using a Kohler pressure balancing valve, K-304-K (or close). Unfortunately, the straight shot up from the valve to the shower elbow runs into an existing electrical box in the adjacent kitchen... Can I leave the valve, shower spout, and tub spout centered and simply jog the shower 1/2" copper supply to the shower around it? if I used 45 deg elbows, i'd be minimizing the pressure loss... but would it be enough of a minimizing?
HELP!?
