Call me stupid but I have a easy question....maybe!

I'm about to install a Hasgrohne Raindance shower onto a partition wall.

This is an example of what I'm about to install:

Now, after reading the few topics on how to supprt this, I've came up with a way.

The question I have is that if I was to use a 1/2" BSP elbow and install the shower bar (some 350mm long, with a bend on the end), wouldn't the end of the thread determine where the compression fitting for 15mm pipe will end up?

Say, I want in a perfect world, the compression fitting to face vertically down and the 1/2" BSP to be horizontal. And the shower rose bar to have the rose facing downwards.

Can this be done?

Will this also require an olive installed between the elbow and shower rose arm?

You can either use jointing compound or ptfe or loctite 55, which I prefer. Wrap this around threads and tighten until fairly stiff and pointing the right way. With the loctite you can also back off the thread a little as well.
