Shower valve height from floor. Employ your helper to hold the fixture at an estimated height and then see if it s a comfortable reach for all users. Install faucets at the same height as the valve equidistant from the valve. I find if you have a shower valve fitted over the bath then 1300mm off the floor is a good height. 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.

For shower stalls install the valve at the standard height of 48 inches or 4 feet. If valve is over a shower tray in a cubicle then around 1m from top of shower tray. Check local building codes looking up local building codes is a great starting point if you want to install your shower valve at the right height. For shower only controls between 36 and 48 inches from the floor is common.
