I reported your advice to the contractor and I returned to find that they have not allowed for 32 inches when they roughed in the plumbing...it is a rain shower head...square...additionally, there is a hand held. Any advice?

So sorry for the late response. The minimum is 60" total length of shower with a 24" opening. Ideally, 63"-78" inches for the total lenth of shower. Hope I was helpful!
