Abstract
A modular, pre-plumbed shower unit is of self-contained nature facilitating rapid shower installation, and includes a plumbing tree including conduits interconnecting a shower head fixture, a tub spout, and control valve for controlling hot and cold water flow to the shower head or tub spout. Resilient pinch mounting brackets secure the plumbing tree to an exterior wall surface. Water supply connections to the control valve are made outside of the wall through an opening therein. A pre-molded shell is secured to the plumbing tree to surround and conceal the plumbing tree in overlying relationship to the wall while concealing also the wall opening. The shower head fixture, tub spout and a handle for the control valve are connected by openings in the shell.
