Wall mounting bath filler

[mickhemel]

Just bought a wall mounted bath filler and it has come with some weird dogleg adaptors which i beleive are the wall mounting kit.

The thickness of the panel and tiles will mean that no threaded part will be visible at the back of the panel to secure the filler.

How do i mount the filler securely?
I was thinking of some 3/4 threaded running nipples which will attach to the filler giving enough length to take a securing nut and then a 90o elbow to the supply.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You don't need nipples - you need tap 1/2" tap extensions:

yep,

tap extensions seem to be the only way around that one.

theres no reason why you can't use your doglegs just mount then further out.

I was looking thru the BES catalogue and found the nipples but didn't spot the tap extensions. Thanks guys.
