Shower Mixing Valve Height: Essential Guidelines for Homeowners

When we take a shower，the showerhead is essential，but many people are not familiar with how to install it。So，what is the height of the shower mixing valve？

一、What is the height of the shower mixing valve?

Under normal circumstances，the height of the shower mixing valve from the floor should be controlled between 90 to 100 centimeters。In practice，homeowners can adjust it based on their own height，but typically it should not exceed 110 centimeters。If it is too high，the shower lift pipe may not be able to be installed properly。

When laying pipes，the reserved position must be planned in advance and should normally be 15 millimeters higher than the rough wall，so that when tiling，the thread can be buried to ensure the aesthetic of the wall。

For the shower head，the reserved length of the elbow joint is usually between 10 to 15 centimeters。

二、What are the considerations for installing a shower?

1、With the development of technology，there are increasingly diverse styles of showerheads，and thus the installation methods can vary。They can be installed on the surface or concealed，wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted。When actually installing，it is important to choose the appropriate installation method according to their style。

2、Choose a suitable location for the shower installation。First，it must ensure people's privacy; do not choose a location near doors or windows。Additionally，if an integrated shower room is being installed，it is essential to communicate the specifications of the shower room in advance and select the appropriate installation location for the shower mixing valve to avoid having to make repairs after the renovation is completed。

3、The water outlet of the shower must follow the principle of hot on the left and cold on the right，which is a national regulation on usage habits。If this is reversed，it could cause the equipment to not function properly。

In summary：The above is about the height of the shower mixing valve。From the article，we can see that many aspects need to be considered during the installation of shower equipment，such as height，style，installation method，and installation environment。This will ensure that the installed shower functions properly，reduces unnecessary costs，and saves more money and materials。I hope this information is helpful to everyone。
