This just seems like the wrong way around... Surely it's better to build the shower so the water doesn't go near the tap? Just have the tap off to the side?
Imagine having a sink where the tap was directly underneath the spout.
Putting the tap opposite the shower head could also work. The plumbing would be kind of wonky, though.
That's an understatement. It would be such a huge pain the ass to plumb that.
Yeah that was definitely a take that forgets that valves are still a mechanical system and the knobs are where they are cause they open and close the flow of water there. I guess you could do electrical systems now but.... That's probably a bad idea for so many reasons.
Yes, the plumber would have to put a few extra bends in the pipe, drill through a couple more studs. I don't see that as being a big deal. It's a pretty common thing to see taps that are not directly in line with the shower head.
