How far to set shower valve for a tile shower

These shower valves have a lot of wiggle room for depth setting

Most circumstances you can install a 2 x 6 or 8 blocker to the back of a 2x4 wall and be at the perfect depth

This works for finished wall surfaces of up to 1 1/2" thick

Most tile installations will be:

1/2" backer board +

3/8" thick tile +

1/4" thinset =

1 1/8" overall finished wall thickness πŸ‘
