How high from the finished floor should I rough in the plumbing in my bathroom for the tub, shower and sink?

Hi Peter,
There are no set-in-stone rules on how high to rough in the plumbing for a tub, shower, and sink; but the general rules of thumb are:
- Tub Faucet Valves: 20”- 22” above finished floor
- Tub Fill Spout: 4”- 6” above top of tub
- Shower Valve: about 42” above tub floor
- Showerhead: 65”- 78” above tub floor
- Sink Drain: 18”- 20” above finished floor
Good luck with your project,
