I am about the fit the shower for my bathroom overhaul. The hot/cold pipes come straight from my combi boiler and through the wall. They are 150mm apart and are solid, the area is tanked and also tiled.
Am I right in thinking that the cranked connectors are OK to fit to the pipes using an olive and 1/2"BSP nut? As these weren't supplied with the shower.
Also, even if I cut the pipe as close as possible to the tiles, the chrome covers still won't be deep enough to cover the pipe work as the gap is too big. How can I overcome this? The covers have a short bit of 3/4"BSP thread for them to fit over the cranked connectors.
My mixer has a plastic cap with tiny holes in it for each of the the hot and cold inputs, do I remove these before fitting, or leave them in?
Thanks
