I'm currently fitting a new shower in a 1200x800 recess. I've mounted the concealed mixer on a noggin on one of the short walls, and run a braided flexihose from the outlet, round the corner, to a central point on the long wall, where the sprayhead and rail will be. I'm currently sheeting up the long wall with 12mm Hardibacker, prior to tiling.
I'm struggling to figure out how to properly finish the pass-through of the feed to the threaded chrome "cap" type thing the shower hose itself screws onto - was provided with the shower rail/hose/head set. If I drill 20mm hole for the last compression joint after the flexihose - enough to get some thread through, with the depth of sheeting plus tiling - what's to stop the cap just spinning and pulling everything through? How do I keep it all properly located and tight?
Hope I'm explaining myself properly - it's kind of hard to describe. I think I'll post same message in plumbing too - is it a sheeting or a tiling problem ?!?
