    Still having trouble understanding your question. Are you asking how jigh off the floor do you install the shower valve? If so, there is no code or rule regarding this, I usually install at 45" up off the floor. By the way, did you know Swanstone makes a shower pan that fits perefectly in place of an old tub? Its called a 3260 L or R retro. The L and R refer to which end gets the drain. As you can see by this ad there is a wide range in the price, $615 is the standard price from most plumbing shops.

    Hi all...

    Go with 40-45" off finish floor to the center of the shower valve and 78" off finish floor to the center of the shower arm.

    Good luck...
