Hello,
I have been posting some over at JohnBridge.com, but was recently directed here as most of my questions thus far involve plumbing and not yet tile.
That being said I am in the midst of my bathroom renovation and am presently running my copper supplies. So far I have everything run to the sink, toilet, and to the base of the shower rough valve. The shower is a standup shower with two shower heads and a diverter in the rough in, one regular shower head and one 8" rain. All of my supplies are 3/4" copper. My shower valve and shower heads are both 1/2" IPS.
My concern is regarding enough volume to feed the rain shower head
My question is....
Should I use a 3/4" to 1/2" IPS for connection to the shower valve and then continue 1/2" copper up to the shower head
-OR-
Should I just use 3/4" copper throught, always using 3/4" to 1/2" IPS all over
-OR-
Should I be using 1/2" IPS galvanized at all points beyond the valve?
Thanks for your time and help.
