First I want to thanks Terry for having this form; it has helped me immensely in the last few months looking up code requirements and learning how to do things such as removal of poured lead seals on cast iron closet flanges and typical heights for stubouts, etc.
I am planning on putting ball shut-off valves on a shower I am installing, but cannot find any information of location or distance from shower to valves.
I'd like to not put them in the wall with the shower as it adjoins a hallway and an access panel would be unsightly.
The house has a full unfinished basement. Is it acceptable to have the valves in the basement?
Another option would be to route the shower supply via a second wall that adjoins a closet, then around the corner to the shower mixer valve- but this would require quite a bit more work and elbows/pipe routing and notch-cutting in corner studs i'd like to avoid.
Input appreciated--
Thanks!
