I was asked if plumbing code includes details like how the tube and fitting
above a shower valve is supported. I know it's
standard practice to use the fitting with the ears and screw it to some
blocking. But is this generally in the codes, or does
this type of thing fall under "installed in a workmanlike manner" ?

thanks
bill

"installed in a workmanlike manner" covers it.

"Workmanship shall conform to generally accepted good practice"
to quote one source.

The fitting you described is a "Drop-ear EL".
