Is that the metal bar kit? I hate those offset things also. Prefer the ons with compression on end of valves. Then you can leave as long as you like and cut to length

Does anyone know what fitting I need to go into this? I have tried 2inch pipe. 2inch rubber boss things. 2 inch reducers. But nothing fits. It came with a rubber reducer but I threw it away. Think it's from wickes

I can see lots of different ones. Will remember for next time. It is an extra cost though

A tenner less the cost of 2 wallplate elbows and a lot of fkn around :smile:
On stud walls i drill 2 16mm holes @150mm centres through a dwang (noggin) Gives you something solid to screw into.

So is this boss adaptor less than 2inch? As all my boss adaptors have not fit

Most mira bar showers come with the easy fit kit now. Installed a Mira Coda and was pleasantly surprised when opened up. Think all the plumbers moaning made have a rethink? Worth knowing however.

Other people make em as well as bristan mutley worth the extra money for me though makes installs so much easier

A dwang Tam, is that regional terminology for a noggin?

Now that is an option. Use an 1/2 inch male to 1/2 inch female behind offset parts. Then I would never know if it were to leak or not as it will be concealed

The insomniac option ...

Definitely going to add them fixing kits into the quote next time. I like less hassle. Dwang hey. I never heard that word but my phone has.
