Shower Valve Height From Floor

The one i have at home is at 48 above.

Shower valve height from floor. My plumber installed the shower valve at 30 above the bare concrete floor. Is there a norm or standard height. The shower head normally is located 72 to 80 inches above the finished floor.

A height of 28 inches or 2 feet 4 inches is standard for valves in bathtub shower units. When determining the height of your shower head and control valve always check your local building codes first. The shower valves need be located between 38 inches to 48 inches above the floor depending on the user s height.

I figure once i installed the shower pan and the sloped tiled floor it would be 26 above my feet. Showerhead will be about 65 to 78 inches above the floor tub supply vertical. If there are regulations.

Place the controls so that all users can easily access them. Where shower arm will go. If valve is over a shower tray in a cubicle then around 1m from top of shower tray.

Shower valve and spout height is a matter of personal preference when you re building or retrofitting. I find if you have a shower valve fitted over the bath then 1300mm off the floor is a good height. Your shower valve or shower controls should be accessible from both inside and outside the shower spray.

Standard height for the shower valve the handle that turns the shower on can be roughly waist high 36 inches above the shower floor or as high as 48 inches. If your shower is also a bathtub ensure that the valve is low enough for bathers to use it but you can place it around 45 inches from the ground if the shower does not include a bathtub. Tub spout 4 inches above tub rim.
