Guys advice needed,
I am trying to fit a concealed mixer shower in a bare stud wall to be cement boarded over. The problem I have is the death from the front plate of the shower valve, the bit that goes on the tiles, to the pipes on the shower valve is 20mm max. The way I see it if I completely hide the pipes in the stud wall there is not enough gap as on top of the stud wall you have 12mm baker board, 12mm tile and 3mm adhesive making 27mm and I only have 20mm. Is this a problem anyone else has seen?
