Q. How do I keep from being "shocked"in the shower?

A. At Rough-In time, It is important to run pipes with enough volume and pressure so that many fixtures can be used at the same time.  I usually run only two fixtures on a 1/2" line; so a standard bathroom would have a 3/4" line for cold until one fixture is taken off. A 1/2" line for the hot is fine, tub and lav.

Another nice item that is  plumbing code in many areas now,  is the pressure balanced tub and shower valves.  A single handle valve that balances the hot and cold water to try to maintain a temperature range plus or minus 2 degrees.

What is Radiant Heat?

Radiant heating is widely regarded as the most comfortable, healthiest, and most natural heating process available. People are warmed in the same way as they are warmed by sunshine on a cool day. Floor drafts, cold spots, and dry air are eliminated. Dust, air contaminants, bacteria, and low humidity levels, all problems associated with forced-air heating, are nonexistent in a home with a properly designed radiant heating system.
