The spray head rail must be able to give a wide range of adjustment so that it will suit the various sizes of people who will use the shower over many years. A Crystal Palace Plumber is trained in all aspects of this type of plumbing work.Water: Once the shower is in its final position, mark the point at which it will connect to the water supply. Use a copper pipe from there to the main supply (usually 15mm pipework), where possible this should be run through the wall next to the shower so that only a minimal amount of pipework is exposed. You will need to fit an isolating valve in the pipework close to the shower unit to give another isolation method. Fit the shower unit on the wall following the manufacturers instructions. Connect to the water supply pipe with a compression fitting, or the supplied connector if there is one. Switch off the supply for the rising main and fit a 15mm branch to this.
