Preference has it’s values, and of coarse the hole of a preferred spot in your shower, the easy way out is to locate this between the grout lines. But if your like us we want it accomplished correctly every time. And the correct spot is smack dab center of that center piece of ceramic tile about 84″ up. But to do this you will have to obtain a diamond tipped coring bit, the diameter of your shower head’s plumbing of choice. Consistently 3/4″ outside dimension for the finish neck part, we suggest a 1″ bit to give you allowable play. Most will come with a escushion ring in the same finish IE., chrome, brush nickle etc.diamond pilot bitcore drilling masonry bitdiamond coring cutter tipped w/pilot bitYou may be suited best by pre drilling the center pilot hole before hand, this will ensure it’s accuracy and insurance in an existing bath remodel application, for the beginners. Otherwise there are variable options at your local home improvement centers, when you cant get one online. High speed rpm, in your drill and by applying a constant [not over doing it] pressure, spray water slowly and let the blades do the cutting. Be patient and alert as to when its going to finish cutting. You must heed this point, you won’t want any cutting going on inside your walls after you have completed the tile and mortar bore.
