Hi All,
With reference to the following thread:
//www.diynot.com/diy/threads/bbathroom-fitting-need-advice.381358/
I understand that I can do away with the locking nuts on the back of the arms, as this is only if I have access to the back of the partition wall, and its fine to have them supported by a (firmly fit!) wall plate elbow.
My question is, how do you make sure the taps/shower arm are pointing in the right direction (ie downwards) when they are snatched tight? They have no rubbers so need to be pretty tight to prevent leaks, but if that point is when the tap is pointing towards say 9oclock, then im never going to rotate it another 270degrees, and I cant turn it back as this would leak!
I also cant first fix the elbow with the arm attached as there will be the thickness of tiles to contend with also!
What do all the competent plumbers on here recommend??
Thanks
