I have a Triton Nene shower mixer valve which has 2 x 3/4" female on the back. I have 2 x 22mm pipes coming down the wall so I need to turn a right angle into the valve. It comes with 1/2" to 3/4" offset adaptors I suppose to take up errors in the spacing but I can get that right (hopefully!) so dont need those.

I'm concerned about the weight of the mixer valve on two elbows. I'm using battens and shower boards.
Whats the best way to turn the corner and provide the support and get the spacing from the wall just right?

Either way you won't want 22mm pipe feeding the bar mixer.
Reduce it down to 15mm.

You can either use the doglegs supplied, They will screw into 15mm x 1/2"
wall plates. Then you don't need a bend on your pipes.

Or use a bar mixer wall plate.

Or use these bar mixer fixing kit.
But you'll need to put 2 elbows on your pipework first.

Nice pictures are useful. I guess going down to 15mm for the last few feet wont cause much loss of flow. It just seemed odd that they go from 15 up to 22 on the stepped adaptor. Once I knew the phrase "bar mixer fixing kit" I was able to search for it. I even found out that Triton do fixing kit but its not that easy to find. They dont mention it in their own instructions.
Cheers.
