Though not a plumber, I can say that shower valves are usually made of brass(a very good material). Therefore they are also expensive to replace (50 dollars for the valve, 150 dollars per shower valve if done by a competent plumber). Therefore, when you notice a leak coming from your shower, try to replace the seat washer (usually the hot water side needs to be replaced first). If you still have a leak, it's time to replace the shower valve.
The same height as the normal western shower valves, this is why they are yellow, they can't show because they can't reach the valve.

To raise the height of an outdoor water faucet, the best thing to do would be to get an extension for the existing pipe that will bring the faucet to the height desired. Remember to turn off the source of the outdoor faucet before starting this project. Remove the faucet valve, screw in the new pipe, replace the faucet valve. Sealing the ends of the new pipe with plumber's tape is also a good idea.
If the faucet contains the re-direction valve (closes off the water from the faucet and redirects the water to the shower head) you need to rotate the faucet counter clock wise to unscrew it from the plumbing and replace it with a new one. Take the old one to your local box store and they can match it up for you.

When installing a bathtub faucet or tub & shower divertor valve, the bathtub spout must terminate above the flood level rim of the bathtub a minimum of 2"inches.This would place the stub out for the spout approximately 6"inches above the rim of the bathtub.Now just install the faucet or divertor high enough so the trim plate will not contact the spout.12 to 15"inches above the spout should be fine.
