Trays not in . But roughly height from floor to shower head is 190cm . I’m 6ft 1” so seems low too me . I can reposition it a bit further up - gain maybe 70mm That too low ??

@Nickfromwales told me to do it like that ???

Yeah . I got to 10 and thought that was ridiculous. Seems ok now - will leave overnight and see .

I forgot how much brass fittings like to leak . Each fitting should come with its own roll of ptf tape . Maybe in the distant future all mixers / taps etc. are hep20 ready ... ?

Possibly . Did seem to go on a bit . I swore at it ; still dripped

See ! I do listen and retain sometimes .

Decided therefore to test the shower head . Indeed opening the manifold did seem to alleviate the knocking . One thing I noticed is that with the shower set to fully off a small trickle still runs through the shower head . Can’t see any obvious adjustment for this ...

I’ll order some 135 see if that helps Shower head can’t be ceiling mounted as ceiling on an incline

Sorry you’ve lost me . The fitting on the mixer is bsp to hep20

Just vaguely remember @Nickfromwales saying not to attenuate flow with the manifold . Not on site at the mo - but possible manifold tap not completely open ...

It’s all curves up until the mixer as it’s a single run per feed with no joints .

You mean the nasty 2 90 tees ? Can’t see another way of doing it . Runs too short . Pipe not flexible enough

Hot not connected

Put water through on the cold feed only . Lots of knocking - assume air in pipe ? Have a leak on one of the brass fittings - so will fix that first . Does the mixer need hot and cold simultaneously ? I.e prevent the knocking ? . I have no hot available but could stick cold on the hot feed ...

There !! Did notice the shower head arm is relatively low ... Can’t really go any higher ...

Lucky me ! Shower head ‘end’ is a standard fitting !

Yeah I did think of that . Perhaps I need to issue them with a contract stating they have no liability in the event of my injury / demise ?

Getting nowhere with this. Scaf companies being arsey. Tempted by @joe90 original suggestion. All I need is 3 scaf poles . The 'guides' etc. to stop it rotating could all be done with timber ( cheaper and easier to obtain ) I guess even the 'spreader' could be timber??? - bit worried about that crushing and therefore failing.

Of course! - photo tomorrow

Ok - assuming that all fits ( which I guess it should ) what about the shower head ? (2nd photo )

Yes - some special thing with a grub screw ( which I’ll lose soon )

Yes but then I’m not testing the entire fitting . I could do that , it doesn’t leak . Then put their fitting in and it could leak ...

I think that’s it ! But how do I pressure test at the final point ? . The end fixing for shower head etc. have these funny things ! . Really want to cap them for proper test .

Gave up trying to be clever and took path of least resistance...

So you’re a confessed bender ? ?
