I had my house built about 15 years ago. I have a half bath behind my

laundry room. Anyway It has a shoer and sink. I am debating redoing it

ab putting a bathtub in it and toilet and sink.

My question is, on the other side of the prefab shower wall is the

service entrance to my house in the garage. This passed code but is

this a good idea?

Well, this is the thing. Very small half bath behind laundry room. It is a pre made small shower and mop sink. Because of my growing family. I would like to put a tub/shower in here add a regular sink and toilet. I am trying to figure out if I put a tub/shower in how to configure it without having to run a water line up the same wall the service for the electrical is on the other side of.

Not to change the subject, but I know my shower has one drain. If I put a tub in I will have a drain and an overflow drain. Can these both be in the same line? I am trying to figure out if all this can be done without ripping apart the walls. I have acess beneath the floor in the crawl space. I really dont want to start tearing out drywall.

Here is just one of a gazillion images of a typical tub drain set up.
The overflow is to prevent the water from overflowing the edges of the
tub if the main tub drain is left closed and unattended. You'll note
that they merge into a single pipe at the bottom.

Granted, if the main drain gets clogged, even the overflow won't help,
but I have never seen the overflow drain connected to a "secondary
drain system". Think about it..how far back would you run the
secondary drain system to prevent a primary drain clog from being a
problem? You'd have to run it all the way to the sewer.

As for your original question, I don't understand why you are so
concerned with water pipes running inside the wall near the electrical
service.

Do you not think that there are water pipes and electrical wires near
each other inside the walls of your house?

Oh my gosh, look at this! Electrical wires, drain pipes and water
pipes all in the same space.

What exactly has you concerned about putting a water pipe on the other
side of the wall that holds your electrical service?
