Shower outlet threads to short.

you can use pushfit tap connectors. it does not matter if the connectors poke through, just use pipeclips as normal to hold all pipework in place.

Hi

I can see where your coming from. My problem is. It is a wooden board false wall with approx 18 inch gap from the false wall to the main brick wall

Does the fitting not have a male threaded end on it? just use a tap connector it is the easiest solution mate.

and how you gonna hold the nut on a tap connector to do the shower out let up ?

 

[littleleaks]

put the tap connector on first then fix the shower to the wall, have enough pipe to run through to the other side to fix the rest, simple.

The stud wall

 

[seco services]

so you remove say a bedroom plasterboard wall to fit a shower in a bathroom ?

 

[littleleaks]

no strangely enough i don`t, however in this instance there is a false wall with access to the back, so a tap connector is the best method to do this particular job.

 

[seco services]

sorry yes didn't see the post on the op having access to the rear.
thats what you getfor not reading it fully.

Hi

I'm watching the discussion on which method is best. One question regarding this. I can get round the back but with the thread on the Outlet being only 15mm it is not long enough to go through the Tile and wooden board wall which is about 10mm. No thread comes through to screw the Tap connector onto.
