That would then bring the front out too far and it’d still be pot luck if the arm lands in the correct position

The back plate is just a standard elbow. I’m never going to find one the perfect depth to allow the perfect number or full turns to end up with shower arm perfect. It’s the shower arm attached so you can see with it being rectangular rather than circular it’s tricky to land it in the right...

If I don’t back them off then they won’t be facing down though. How do you over come that without backing off? Or do you mean just tighten until in position (facing down) and leave, therefor not backing off

Sorry backing the shower arm off 3/4 of a turn. I’m worried it’ll leak and also it isn’t as ridged to hold the shower head. Wondered if loctite 55 will solve it on its own or if it’s wise to find some washers to put inside the elbow to tighten too?

I’ve used a couple of 90 degree wall plate elbows to fit a shower arm and hand shower into. My question is the shower arm needs backing off about 1/4 turn and the hand shower needs backing off 3/4 of a turn. Now I’m going to use loctite 55 but also wondered if it’s worth using some kind of fibre...
