Hello,
First of all I would like to apologise for not knowing any technical terms or names of all the parts involved in this query. I hope I can describe it well enough for you to know what I'm talking about.
I'm about to install a thermostatic shower with exposed valve and rigid riser. The shower came with two offset adapters for hot & cold taps, threaded at both ends to fit the 15mm elbow tap connectors I've fitted to the pipes and the 18mm shower valve at the other end.
This is my first attempt at a job of this nature and I've misjudged the depth of the pipe chases literally by less than 1cm.
My question is to do with this part (the name of it would be helpful for future reference!), and more generally about threaded parts - can they be cut down to size if they protrude from the wall too much without damaging the thread? If so, what tool would be best for the job? If it's quite involved, a full description would be helpful please because, as I said, this is my first attempt.
Thanks in advance.
