Good Morning all- I am in the process of remodeling our hall bathroom and have a few random questions. It is a tub/shower combo and I have purchased delta mixing valves for the shower and a kohler tub. Bathroom is above a crawl space.
So my question is:
Why is it not common practice to install a shutoff valve on the water line(s) to the mixing valve? Is there any issues with doing so? I am also planning on putting in a recirculating pump down stream on the hot line for the one day when we get a tankless hot water heater.
Drain lines Can you just put in one vent for the entire bathroom? What is the maximum distance the vent can be from the source assuming a horizontal run (yes slightly downward)? Are there different requirements with a septic tank vs city sewer?
I’m sure I'll have more so thank you in advance for your help!
