Hi Hugo, this video is excellent - I see you have the body sprays in a pressure loop like Delta recommends. We carry many shower systems like this too and I'd like to potentially embed your video in a future blog we are writing if that's ok. I wanted to ask however, do you have another video of this shower system once the tile is in and the job is done? I'd like to see how things ended up with the hand shower bench you talked about and would really like to see all the sprays in action! Nice work explaining how everything goes in the wall. We often get questions from experienced plumbers who struggle to get these shower systems set up properly but it seems you have a good understanding for sure.
Hugo good afternoon I am. Working with one. Bathroom like this . so .i need if you can answer me. The question is : the Jets working at the same time with the main shower or every function is independent. .? Let me know thank you
Was wondering why you used copper to connect the valve and diverter instead of pex, was it for volume? Works looks good just not a big fan of the plastic fittings would have used brass. Thanks good video
Pex is being use more and more, the valve and diverter have a practicality of the copper connection, brass would be very costly and painful to work with, I use to make all my work in copper
I followed this loop method for my 3 shower jets. I tested by opening the top one, water flowed. I kept the top jet open and opened the middle jet, the middle flowed but the top stopped flowing. I then opened the bottom jet and only water flowed from the bottom, others dont flow 😪
@@HugoCorrea thanks for the reply. I did more tests and the pressure is fine (1.5 bar) but flow rate is poor 1ltr per 55 secs. The flow rate into the digital valve is 1ltr
I just installed a 3 body spray set up in my shower. I've done looked before. I used delta and in there directions it said 3 sprays or less you didn't need a loop. 4 or more they wanted it
The body spray loop is not properly balanced. Supply line should be plumbed to center of loop with equal offsets to each individual shower head (body spray). The supply lines to each spray head shouldve been brought in from other side allowing the the supply to the loop to be properly balanced. Additionally, PEXB - used here -has reduced flow to each fitting. PEXA (Uponor) has full flow fittings.
That pex is fine just never run it to a tub spout and put a drop Elbow and nipple route the pex will hit the fitting and cause the tub divertor/spout to spudder like a semi. Always use copper

Is that 1/2 pipe? No need to use 3/4 pipe for 3 body sprayers?

Whats the difference if you have the pressure loop like you did rather than have the jets reconnect back to the right loop each one?
Pressure distribution
How much would u charge to do something like that?

Perhaps you need more pressure on the lines or your jet nozzles are too big

Kristopher Lalko so did you use a loop or not and how does it work if you didn’t?
What head or body sprays attach to a Drop ear? I typically use 50200. What did you end up attaching?
I used a 10 small nozzle round sprayers
Balace loop is plumbed completely wrong 40 years in the business ,that's not how it's done .
People would prefer you show them how to do it not just talk and even talk around the issues.
Can you post model numbers for the valves, and body spray jets? Thank you for the video.
Jess E i will

Pirate J thank you for the information, this setup works great and the pressure is equal to all the sprayers, I will try your system soon
Nice way of saying fuckkkkkkk you.
It will work fine. you are correct though.
He did a great job
