Flange for shower

[footprints]

OK hands up I got it wrong, despite lots of measuring and faffing about when I came to fit the bar shower after tiling and fitting the flanges, shrouds, bezels, trims, call them what you will! The blinking threads are short by 5mm or so anyone know please if there are any shallow flanges I can swap for to get the clearance about 15mm (1/2") deep would be ideal!

Otherwise its plastic pipe rings or extra washers I guess

Thank you

Had that problem once before @footprints, the customer didn't get the thickness of the tiles right so was out by 5-6mm, I just used a dremel to trim the bottom off the covers and that sorted it.

Thanks Rob, I was thinking along the same lines, maybe hold it on the belt sander clamped in the workmate, son in law has a dermel so I might borrow it.

These are 18mm deep if that's any good

Ahh ok.... what's been posted previously are your only options then really... if u do it the other way, u can use 1/2" male couplers to extend out....

Anyone else looking for the same thing I found these which are only 5mm high; https://www.amazon.co.uk/CORNAT-TEC383002-Chrome-Collar-Taps/dp/B000VT5M80
They also do 15mm high ones part number Cornat TEC383202. Alternatively they do 3/4 chrome extension adapters. 15mm TEC382500
