SHOWER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

[rossowheels]

I had my bathroom refurbished recently and a new shower valve and head was fitted as you can see from the photo.

It seems strange to me that the vertical pipe is not fitted parallel to the wall. In fact, the previous unit was also fitted this way!

The upper fixing does not allow the pipe to be parallel with the wall because the valve assembly fits flush against the wall.

Any comments much appreciated.

Did it all come as one? What shower valve/rail is it?

Couple of guesses why it might be like that, but just guesses.
The shower valve had a spacer that couldn't be fitted because the pipes coming out of the wall were too short.
The riser had a dog leg that was cut off because of the restricted ceiling height
