Shortening shower help!

[Flumpit]

I want to reuse the inlets from the old shower that I am removing - the problem is all the new modern looking bar showers have ridged risers that are too long

They say do not cut- but can I ?

I could remove a section and then join them with a chrome joiner

Is this a daft idea… I would sway style to a traditional style where it says you can cut but the rest of the bathroom fittings have been bourght

The problem is whoever fitter the original shower pipe work appears to have fitted it then installed the emmersion tank in front of it all!!!

Any help appreciated….

Mira do a short bar for low ceilings/high positioned bar valves.

Then you could use these to lower the bar mixer position...

Use chrome elbows on current pipes and a bit of chrome coated pipe to get bar lower down, giving you the height needed for the riser.

You'll only get 15 or 22mm chrome couplers for the riser so, unless you can get a shower with a riser of that bore, then you're stuck!

Else it's removing tiles and getting feed pipes to dog leg down inside the wall!

Are you talking about the rigid riser pipe from the bar is too long for the height of the ceiling, for an overhead rain shower? If so then just get a shower with an adjustable height rigid riser?
