I have just started to install a mixer shower and just have the one question.
I have put the pipework in the wall and dont have a lot of wall left to secure the two right angle connectors to,is it ok to just bond around these connectors as that will hold them in place real nice ?
I have also just used electrical tape round the pipe before i bond over those as the wall is not thick enought to put the pipes in anything else,is that also ok ?
Many Thanks

OK i have the pipes in the wall !
I want to plaster over the pipes and was told just to put some tape on them as that will let the hot pipe expand a little without cracking the plaster.
But before i plaster over the pipes i just want to know if i can plaster over the right angle plates which should screw into the wall,but if i did that the drill will be out in the hall.
So can i plaster right the way upto these brass connectors,im not sure what they are called,i soldered them onto the pipe fine,they have to hold the weight of the shower mixed and the oly way i can see them doing that is is i can plaster round them.
Im just not sure if plaster(bonding) will weaken a soldered joint !
Many Thanks
And may the force be with you !
And this is not fun at 8:30 pm
