New shower pipe centres tolerance

[inigo]

Hi, I am about to install a new Mira shower. The shower manual gives 110mm pipe centres. However my pipe centres are at 115. Does anyone know if there is any tolerance given? Cheers!

Mira what ?

Either a minduo or minilite (one of the smaller round Exposed valve mixers)...

No adjustment must be 110mm.

Aaah crap !
Thanks seco.

Ps know of any other showers, any make, that might work?

Err 5mm is neither here nor there, so unless the holes have been drilled to the exact diameter of the shower tails at exactly 110mm centres it will probably fit.

There are adjustable elbows for retro-fitting.

5mm isn't much but your going to find it tight if your pipes are secured in the wall tight and only 20mm to play with from finished wall surface don't give you much leverage on the pipework.
And it can make the nut a bugger to square up and tighten.

Forget the retro fit elbows they are only for centres of about 130mm/150mm.

Thanks, the pipes are not in that tight, if i press the pipes together I can squeeze the 5mm I need but thought this would place too much stress on the copper pipes?
