Dogleg extensions / mixer bar fitting

[adam81]

Hi,

I just had my shower room boarded out. I've got a Triton Thermostatic shower bar to fit.

I put in 15mm - 1/2 BSP elbows with wings to support it in the brick work behind.

The plasterer though has come too far away from the wall with his dot and dab and I won't get the minimum 7mm required once the tiles, and skim are on after putting on the trim covers.

Is there such a thing as an extended dog leg connector, or some sort of threaded extension? Had a search and couldn't find one. I didn't fit a shower bar and maybe should have but still would have had this issue I guess.

One alternative is I cut the trims down to a few mm as opposed to the 18mm they currently are.

Any ideas?

1/2" BSP tap extensions would extend the wingback elbow threads by about 1".

That's probably all it needs..

Thanks I can sleep now without having to have the conversation it all has to come off when he comes to skim in the morning..
