Shower installation height
1. The height of the shower mixing valve from the ground: When we install the shower, the first thing to determine is the height of the shower mixing valve from the ground. Generally, before installing the shower, we have already determined the shower. The place to install. Then the distance between the shower mixing valve and the ground is generally controlled within the height range of 90~100cm. In this interval, we can also fine-tune according to our height. However, generally do not raise 110cm higher. If it is too high, the shower lift can not be installed.
2. The reserved height of the shower faucet: the reserved silk head of the generally installed shower faucet is buried in the wall tile. It is best to cover it with a decorative cover. Otherwise it will not look very beautiful. Therefore, it is best to reserve the position when laying the pipeline first, and generally consider it 15mm higher than the blank wall, so that the silk head can be buried when the tile is finished, to ensure the beautiful appearance of the wall.
3. The spacing reserved for the inner elbow of the shower: The general standard for the spacing of the inner elbow of the shower is about 10~15cm. Generally, when the shower is bought, the seller will give two adapters, so that the water inlet of the mixing valve can be well connected to the hot and cold water outlet of the wall. However, as far as possible, do not use adapters to transfer, so it is more beautiful.
