Mixer bars with those dog legs/variable fittings - hassle?

[matt84]

Hi

I did plan in running a copper length with elbows buried in the wall and fixing them directly onto a mixer bar but my shower turned up and it needed to be joined by 1/2" bsp female elbows with those variable fittings which confuse me.

I went for Speedfit stuff and as mocked up below, the fittings aren't level when screwed in all the way, can they be turned to the desired position or do they need to go in all the way?

Could I even just get rid of them and use something else to join them to the mixer bar if my installation is dead on 15cm centres?

Thanks

The Bristan kit that Leaky has posted is by far your best option here

 

[Biggles..]

Use a grohe 18153.

Thanks that Bristan kit with the wall plate looks good, might try it on a solid wall as the bar mixer is heavy.

Didn't fancy risking plastic or compression in a wall behind tiles.

Thanks
