How do I fit this concealed shower head

[Artrax]

Hi,

I have brought a concealed shower for a bathroom refit. I have installed showers before but this is the first time installed a concealed system.

It's a dual head one and I'm struggling to understand how I secure the shower head.

It seems the bracket is supposed to clamp from behind, but I don't see how I can realistically do this unless I do it during tiling - but making connections and testing for leaks during tiling all seems a bit much.

It's being installed to a solid brick wall that I have studded out to make space for the pipes etc, so I have no access from the back once it's boarded and tiled. Maybe that's where I have gone wrong.

Any advice welcome, thanks.

I think this is a case of not picking the right shower setup to fit the outlet you have. You are correct, that outlet needs either to be pre-fitted before the final wall covering goes on, say onto wood, or have access to fit and secure and connect up from the rear.
