I would like to have a glass block shower put up. I would need to have the piping for the shower reroute to an outside (exterior) wall of the house. Can that be done?

Please explain farther! Will the exterior wall be furred out so the shower valve can be installed or would you want to mount the valve in the glass bricks themselves? Are you asking that the drainage be routed outside? To connect to what? We need more details to answer. Please furnish them. Tom

The shower current has 3 walls. 2 of the walls are outside walls of the house. In order to do the glass block on 2 of the walls I need to put the piping and shower head on an outside wall. Drain would still be inside. Only concern is that the shower pipes would be on a wall that the other side of the wall is the outside of the house.

One more time, will the outsiude wall be furred out at accept the shower valve ow were you planing on breaking out the block? This would insulatethe pipes from freezing,(where do you live?) How will you supply the shower valve? Is there supplies coming up in the outside wall or w3ill you have to drop from overhead? You're just not feedinjg me enough information to answer your question.
