Hose + Shower + Floor 2 Cold - As Built 2
Hose bib, attached with trim screws. Located by drilling a 6” screw from inside. Used ¾” hole saw from outside, and inside to go through 2x blocking. PEX length was 3’, trimmed at end.
5” hole drilled on inside wall, blocking inserted to outside wall to screw bib into. Filled with insulation, and used interior block with suspension clamp.
Prepare double tee assembly for second floor. Drill 1-¼” hole to second floor. Measure at 74”.
Result of 74” of ¾” line, up to double tee and connection to water expansion. Note that in this build, we ran an expansion of cold water only, assuming another heater in the addition.
Shower Assembly is 2 drop ears + eccentric adapters put together in a vise. Faucet is attached, and that locates the Faucet Assembly exactly on a 2x4 block, 10” long. Then faucet is unscrewed. 1-¼” hole saw is used at 6” separation at 8” above tub rim. Drop ear ends exactly at back surface of tub. Front trim has escutcheon touching tub, and a thread or two exposed in front of escutcheon. Drop ears metal ends at edge of 2x4. Actual valve mount block height = .
Dropears accessible so that PEX can be attached and removed. Remember the PEX insert. Double tee mounted on another block about 5” above floor.
Finish running the ½” to shower, toilet, and bath sink 2. Note that bath sink 2 is a curve, not a fitting.
