Hi
I've just picked up and proprietary H&C Bar Valve Fixing Kit from Screwfix on the understanding that it would make the installation of my new shower somewhat easier.
I was not convinced by the robustness/rigidity of the Mira way of doing it. On the face of it, this fixing kit is a much more secure way of hanging the mixer bar.
Anyway, I've got this unit, and from my measurements there is not enough room to reinstate the plasterboard wall and tiles in front of the pipes without running out of thread onto which fits the decorative covers and the mixer bar.
Has anyone else fitted one of these?
How did you manage it?
Would you expect to have the pipework located in a channel/cutout in the plasterboard, and then have the pipework and bar valve fixing kit covered only by the tiles, with no plasterboard?
I would appreciate any advice on this, as it's not making a great deal of sense. To me, the threaded section needs to be an inch longer, but i'm, guessing someone cleverer than me has been round this loop and solved it...
Thank you
