Shower inlets not 150mm

[Ryan Fox]

Hi everyone, I am not a plumber at all. I have bought a Mira shower, went to install it but the pipes coming out the wall are closer than 150mm! I know, i should have checked first. Is there any adapters out there that I can buy? I have searched through the web but cannot find anything. Any help is massively appreciated

You can buy shower valves with smaller width pipes connections, including Mira brand.
Can you exchange the shower you bought?

Some showers have Z connecters for this.
Can`t for the life of me see how photos will help this common problem.

So I can see whether he has pipes or 3/4 threads coming though the wall before I jumped the gun offering a remedy

The z type connectors are ok but you have to be able to get to back of them to adjust the smaller dimension, if they are behind the tiles ,you may have a problem.

Sorry Craig , what I meant was depending on your pipe centers they adjust through the design

Sorry, was replying to Jck's post. The external bar shower fixing kit that has adjustable inlets is what I haven't came accross before.

These will only adjust a couple of mm. The OP sounds like the gap is bigger than a couple of mm.

Adjustment 5mm horizontal and 5mm vertical , attached the details
