Gutted bathroom. Installing new fixtures with new locations. Need to know what the recommended distance the spout is from the tub. The distance the spout is from the one hand control and the distance from the one hand control to the shower head.
I read the spout is 1" from the tub, the one hand control is 33" from the floor and not sure the distance of from the floor to the shower, maybe 6"?

There really is no standard rough-in height for tub or shower fixtures, although 1" for a tub spout is too low -- It's usually a matter of personal preference.

If the new tub surround is going to be tile, you might consider placing the spout, valve and shower head at elevations that compliment the tile layout (spout on a grout line between two tiles, same with the mixing valve and shower head) this also makes it much easier on the tilesetter as it is much easier to nip a tile than it is to drill a hole in one.

Growler's correct. There isn't a standard measure. On our new installations we set the valve about 8 1/2" above the tub rim and the spout 4"' above the rim. We install our shower heads at 76 to 78" off the floor. Good luck, Tom
