I am fitting a shower unit in a small spare room. All the plumbing will be coming form the hot press in the next room. What sort of connections do I have to make. Adjoining wall is a block wall. Do I just drill holes to take the pipes and make the connection in the hot press?
Shower mixer unit.

Not really. Call me stupid, or naive, or both, but I don't recognise any of these types of installations.Blaze said:Do these help Softus .........

Hot press = airing cupboard. Archaic, vernacular, and not a little pretentious, but we know what you mean!
It's easiest to take the pipes through the wall and do the connections out of sight, but exactly what you need depends entirely on the shower fitting you get.
There is a fitting which can be useful which is designed for outside taps - but I can't find a pic or a name. It has a thread (which the outside tap screws onto,) which has a collar/plate you can screw to the wall. From this a 15mm length of copper pipe, attached to the fitting when you buy it, goes through the wall. Anyone seen one online?

You mean these?ChrisR said:
I buy plenty of them locally. I call it a garden tap wallplate, but KX call them a "15mm wallplate and tube"; product code 101328.
I like them, but the brass boss is prone to spitting if you overdo it.
