A tub surround encloses the shower area, and the plumbing behind it must be right before the walls close. Here is the Beaverton guide.
The valve
The tub-shower valve and its rough-in depth are set to match the finished wall thickness.
The overflow
The tub drain and overflow connect below the tub before the surround is installed.
The access
Leave or plan an access panel behind the valve for future repairs.
The call
Rough it in before the walls close. Call 888-217-3585 and Beaverton Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Beaverton pro.
