Because there is a 5 inch gap between the tiled plaster board and the faceplate elbow screwed to the noggin I need to join an extension to my new shower arm to ensure sufficient length of arm into the shower cubicle.
I will therefore have 2 joins. The 1/2 inch BSP thread of the showerarm into the extension and the 1/2 inch BSP thread of the extension into the fixed wall plate.
My question is what is the best method to ensure a water tight seal on both these joints. Do I use a rubber washer or just sealing tape such as ptfe or locktite string?
Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
