Is there any standard (code, tradition, or otherwise) regarding how far a roughed-in pipe for a tub filling spout should be above the top surface of the tub?
Likewise, other than the constraints imposed by the mixing valve itself (8-18" from the valve down to the elbow below), is there any standard (code, tradition, or otherwise) governing how high the controls should be? All things equal, I'd prefer to put the spout at some reasonable height, then put the mixing valve as high above that as I'm allowed to. Even though it would probably be higher than normal for tub controls, it would be more convenient for the specific use case that will apply to ~99.9% of my own use... showering.
