See how the plumbing takes shape before finishes go in. Ten illustrated stages bring water, drains, vents, and fixture connections together throughout a luxury home.

The rough-in starts with the selected fixtures, cabinet layouts, and intended finished wall and floor surfaces. Supply outlets, drains, valve depths, and access points are coordinated before piping is installed.
Separate hot and cold branches are routed through the open framing and secured to blocking. Capped outlets protect the piping during construction. This view shows the installation before required hot-water insulation is added.
Each basin location receives its own hot and cold outlets and a capped drain connection. The drain inlets connect to upright drain-and-vent fittings, with the vents continuing upward through the wall framing.
The shower valve body is fixed to solid blocking at the depth required for the future wall finish. Separate hot and cold supplies connect to the valve, and the shower riser ends at a securely mounted outlet.
The tub-filler base and separate drain opening are positioned for the selected freestanding tub. The supply assembly is anchored and protected while the drain remains capped until the fixture is installed.
The future sink cabinet receives distinct water-supply outlets and a capped drain inlet. The drain continues downward while the vent rises through the service wall, leaving the fixture connections ready for later finish work.
An anchored supply box provides separate washer connections. Beside it, the standpipe leads to an above-floor P-trap and a short trap arm, with the vent rising from the upright drainage connection.
Protective plates shield piping where fasteners could reach it through the framing. Sleeves or bushings protect appropriate penetrations, and compatible supports hold the line without crushing or damaging it.
After the required rough testing and inspection steps, hot-water piping receives the specified insulation. This work-in-progress view shows a short connection still being covered; coverage and seams are completed before closure.
A final coordination review checks fixture positions, pipe protection, access, and remaining insulation details. Supply and DWV tests are separate operations completed at the required earlier stages; walls stay open until the required acceptance is obtained.
