My husband and I are doing a complete master bath remodel, including moving all fixtures and adding a steam shower. This forum has already saved our bacon a number of times in the planning and process. I have our plumbing code just about memorized, but you all have much better descriptions. We also went with a Toto after reading on this site.
I finally have a question I don't see already answered. We are going with a Moen Exacttemp shower system. There is one thermostatic valve and 3 volume control valves. All the valves are 3/4" as is the supply. All the shower heads have threaded 1/2" connectors. The pipes between valve and head will be running an average of 5 feet. Am I better off stepping down to 1/2" right after the volume controls, or should I run 3/4" almost all the way to the heads? And why? I'm using all copper.
