I have a 'Vision' manual mixer shower from wickes. The main valve installation can either be exposed or concealed and is pretty straight forward.
However, the elbow that's required for the concealed installation has me rather puzzled. I have uploaded the instructions/image for here:

The 'wall elbow' has a threaded shaft, the threads aren't shown in the picture. Just how exactly are you supposed to secure the backnut from behind the wall?? I don't really have access from the rear of the wall and assume when fitting showers few have that luxury.
In fact I can't really see a practical way to fit this elbow. Especially can't see any scenario where it's possible to tile and then have the elbow sitting on top of the tiles, if you know what I mean. Am I missing something?
