Where to place water stop valves for shower ?

[Justice League]

Having a straight bath fitted and going for taps to the bath and an Aqalisa shower above. So the hot/cold pipes that supply the bath taps will they be different to the ones that supply the shower?

I mean do I need separate pipes to the shower with their own valves or can the pipes that will feed the bath taps also feed the shower?

I assume the bath taps valves will be accessible after removing the bath panel?

For an over bath shower valve I have local isolation underneath the bath.

Just to clarify. Isolate bath and shower separately- if one goes wrong it can be isolated and the other used. Then sorted at leisure instead of as a matter of urgency.

Just make sure if being fed by gravity supply, you use full flow valves.

The will be supplied by a combi boiler.

I would still use full bore valves, especially on hot. When shower is old and tired and so is Combi, restrictive valve can be enough to give you problems with hot not keeping the Combi on - fit full bore now, one less thing to go wrong.
