It's been awhile since I've done a full rip and redone.
In the past, I've just stubbed to the RO location, whether it be toiler, tub filler, showerheads, etc and ran a nipple of appropriate length to get the said head, angle stop, etc to the correct length.
I know there is not a universal answer as every tub/head is different.
For the sink, toilet - I do plan to so just the same....as I generally use chrome nipples / angle valves as these are *exposed* plumbing fixtures.
What is the common ways you PRO's do it for the tub and shower head/shower heads and such.
I would never dare to stick a copper stub with a cap, finish the wall *tile* , and then cut cap and torch to length.
I'm not that good...even with flame protectors....
I HAVE torched a male head to length....and then tiled with the head on, but this also creates a larger RO on the tile than as if it was just pipe that the RO had to be for.
