Installing a new shower plumbing system involves rough-in plumbing (supply and drain), valve installation, water testing, wall closure with proper backer board, fixture trim installation, and final testing. Each step has to be done in order, and the rough-in inspection has to pass before walls can be closed.
Step-by-step
- Rough-in supply, drain, and vent lines
- Set anti-scald or thermostatic valve
- Pressure-test all connections
- Pass rough-in inspection
- Close walls with proper backer board
- Install trim, head, and handheld
- Final water test and adjustment
We handle every step through our shower plumbing service, and coordinate with tile and surround installers on full remodels.
