Surface mount a shower mixer bar

[tommy1712]

Is there a bracket to surface mount the pipe work on a bar type shower mixer, I have only ever done these with the pipe work in the wall. I am supposed to be installing a pumped system tomorrow and the customer decided to get her own mixer. Just sent me a picture of it and dohhhh moment. Can't see how to work round this one lol

Screwfix sell chrome brackets that allow for installation of a mixer shower with exposed pipes.

always best to fit pipework throught a timber battern to allow good fixings and make sure the tilers cuts holes just the right size.

Most merchants will do a version of them. Ask for wall plate or back plate elbows for a bar shower.
Screwfix do them too if you are stuck
