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 ? ?

Plastic for everything . No idea how I get the spigot out as the key won’t fit ?

Trying to think ! Can’t fit another 90 in

I’m really having a bad day - can’t concentrate. Lost a family member over the weekend - so that can be today’s excuse ? I’m being thick for sure . The mixer outlet ( top left ) need to fix to the shower elbow bottom left . But because ( as far as I can tell ) the shower elbow is ‘more forward’ ; they aren’t nicely inline . So from shower mixer fittings would be 1/2” BSP 90 Deg spigot 90 elbow 90 elbow then down into the back plate fixing . Just seems way too many fittings for such a short run . Second question is when I water test this I really need to ‘block’ the shower outlets yes ? ( head and flexi hose ) . So that I have water pressure right to the final destination and can leave over night to test .

Basements are real fun . Cost more , more work and leaks ( in my case ) - but so worth the extra space .

Ah ! A man of knowledge on such matters ! I didn’t know what a stillage was - but that does look promising. ?

So you mean the same but with the other 2 corner posts ?. How do I fix the cross over point ?

Dirty bastard

Though..... Should I brace these? i.e. ... ( more wine please ; reality is slipping back in !)

Or nubile females to ease my pains....

No Grapes please. Steak/wine/cash any of; preferred

So @joe90 using PAAI (pocsters Advance Artificial Intelligence ). this arrangement feels better .. ( doesn't mean it is better; just feels better ! )
