first post here.
I am getting close to building my new steam shower using many plumbing fixtures that I salvaged from a spa maybe 8-10 years ago.,
I will be using the Schluter system for tiling and have a thread on John bridge. not sure if i am ok to post links here?
THe shower will be 48 x 62 x 98 size well under my steam gen size.
I was going to go curbless with a linear drain in the center. 2" and it connects to a vent stack 33" away.
I don't recall how these parts I have came out of the two steam showers and two small showers that I demoed.
I just identified the valve (calling Grohe USA), I have as a Grohe 34122 valve. It was plumbed up using both top and bottom outlets as i know from just removing the 1/2" fittings copper and pipes stubs from my cutting.
I cant find flowrate for this valve on the grohe site.. it shows a retail price of 730$ and discontinued.

I also have two flow control valves
I have 4 moen 2.5 GPM side Jets
3 Moen 2.5 GPM rain heads. I think just 1 is best but was going with 2 until i think my flowrate is 12GPM @ 60PSI.
I ordered a Grohe diverter valve and Relexa slide bar shower head and wall adapter.

I understand I need a flow control valve after this 34122 temp control valve.
The Grohe lady told me max of 72PSI inlet pressure, I need to measure.. Does anyone lower the whole house or do I need a reg on both hot and cold supply? This house may be 80+PSI?? I do have a regulator for the whole house. The house is 3 floors and regulator on bottom floor. so 24' to upstairs
I found this guide that may be related to that Therm valve I have or not?

My plan was for the line going to the far wall side heads to slope down so it will drain out and not give a cold initial shot. I also am considering putting this side jets on the one main control wall. Please give me your opinion on this. Maybe i need another diverter to select between the two top heads" but the valve and trim another 400$ its Geneva brushed nickel
