got myself in a muddle! shower bar install

[finest1]

hi all

i got myself in a muddle. a friend of a friend came around at xmas to help me line up two copper pipes for shower bar install. the pipes were too short and no flex so he introduced me to Hep 2.0. he also did a dry fit and measured everything up to the mm. he left me with some patch work and the tiling and said any problems get back to him. well i've got the tile holes drilled and i wanted to know which order to fit the shower bar. i forgotten the next steps. i'm sure he explained it to me, but i can't remember. i've tried calling him for the last few weeks but he is not answering. the hard work is done in terms of measuring everything its just the install i need help on.

i've attached some photos and some extra info

the shower bar is 3/4 going into 15mm. i have an adapter, but i can't remember if he said do away with it, but i would have remembered if he told me to get something else. so the 3/4 adapter needs to go somewhere but there is nothing to screw it on to. is there a Hep adapter, or do i need something else?

the pipes he left two olives on there, not sure why he did that, but it is for a reason as i remember him sliding it on

you will see on the photo where the decorative collar needs to be once the tile is on. the test fit had everything bang on

i don't want to fix the tile on yet, in case i have to do something.

thanks in advance, hope this makes sense the way i explained it

hi all, just a quick update. checking the measurements, most of the length of the screws for the pipe fixing brackets will be into tile and then tile adhesive. will this be secure, fixing into tile adhesive?

thanks

Ye that's fine. Same thing with shower screens, they supply you with 35mm screws which are only long enough to fix into the plugs in the tile.

No, don’t just fix into tiles.
Drill 6mm hole through tile , then drill 3.5mm hole through metal plate and fix the brackets using long self tapping screws.
