Concealed shower valve

[deuce22]

Hi.

Can someone please tell me the best way to fit one of these before plastering.

On my old house (extension) I boarded the inside of the bathroom and after tiling the walls I fitted it from the other side. I then had to have plasterers come back for that one wall.

Can these be fitted without having to do that and have the plasterers finish without having to come back.

Thanks.

Fit the valve into the stud wall, plasterboard then plaster/tile etc.

This is what a friend (Plumber) said.

However the thin metal plate (weather square, round or rectangular) has to be fitted at the same time.

The only thing that can be fitted after is the knobs.

I can't do this if the wall hasn't been tiled and I don't want to tile the walls until they've plastered.

I don't know if this is just one particular model that I've bought which has the plate fixed.

Cheers.

The other thing that was bothering me was the shower arm.

As I am trying to keep everything concealed I used a rear entry arm.

The chrome plate that covers the hole is cut slightly smaller and also acts as a flange to stop the arm going through the wall.

This also has to go on after the tiles.

I've been trying to think how an arm can go on afterwards and still look good without having extra things added to it.

Thanks.
