I am in the process of doing a complete remodel of my bathroom. Putting in a Steam Shower (Mr. Steam MS 400), with a Hansgrohe Shower System with a Thermobalance 111 control unit (Shower, Handheld Shower, and Three Jets. Along the way, I've got some basic plumbing questions.....
So Here goes - thanks in advance for you help.
1. Water supply line extensions: Why do you see water supply lines with a copper "outlet" that runs above each supply line? It's extended up above the supply line and capped? I have to remove those that are existing and want to know why they are there and how tall they should be.
2. Shower Control: Just got my Hansgrohe Shower control - this thing is HEAVY - it has two inlets for hot and cold, and three outlets (shower, hand held shower and three jets). Why did this thing NOT come with a mounting bracket or at least some ears from which to screw this into a mounting bracket. Are you supposed to just "RIG" something like I have tried to do below? Seems like for the price I paid, there would be some sort of mounting bracket included. I tried a mounting bracket from HD but it was not strong enough to hold this heavier control unit.
