Shower head fixing has a ball joint so can tilt - this look ok ?

So ...

Nasty Cludge to get shower head fitting on other wall . Wall single stud and fitting needs to be recessed . Access from rear not possible .

My rainfall can’t be central on its wall - but I don’t think that will matter . My controls on the other wall are ‘offset’ to the right. If I move the hose outlet I could put my riser central .

I’m considering this !! . The hand rail riser is in the centre of the wall on that side ?

Fair enough . I guess my perception is it’s all on the same wall ...

Yeah I considered that . But won’t it look wrong ??

Ah ! I most of dozed off before I reached that bit .

Roper Rhodes - so shouldn’t be cheap kak . Yep stem thingy fitting in the bsp to hep fitting . Think from memory ( I’m remembering well today ! ) it was you that pointed me towards these things some time ago . They are neat . But I can’t see how you dismantle a stem from a hep fitting as the dismantle key won’t fit in !

Googled it and suggestion was 183 to 203cm Might push it up that extra 70mm ..

Well I clicked ‘next’ 28 times on your life story thread . Erm , not sure what I’m meant to be looking at . Brought back a nostalgic tear to my eye , the good old days before CV and brexit . When life was simpler and grout lines were uneven .

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 ...
