Shower wall plate install

[hrb997]

Evening all,

Concealed valve install coming up. A fixed head and a handheld, both of which have 1/2” threads of different lengths.

How do I get the wall plates in exactly the right position behind the wall?

Thanks in advance

Wall plate face to the front of your finish and cut the outlet threaded part down

Yep, Shaun is spot on, cut doesn't need to be millimetre perfect, just eye ball it.

 

[hrb997]

Thanks both.

Where do you get long throw wall plate elbows?

I will need 25-30mm from the front of the pipe to the front of the fitting

I could extend with an iron, but this places a joint behind the wall?

How thick is your finish ?

How thick is your finish ?

12mm hardie, 8mm tile, 5mm addy

If you put the 15mm directly on the back of the hardie you will be fine should be 3mm recessed
