Eccentric elbows are provided to allow for inlet pipework adjustment between 130mm – 170mm centres. Construct
suitable connections terminating in ½”BSP female fittings.
When using the eccentric elbows provided we recommend leaving sufficient threads from the finished wall
surface, after the cover plates have been fitted, to ensure adequate purchase for the exposed valve.
If using alternative fixings please refer to the installation instructions provided to ensure adequate threads are left
to connect the exposed valve after the cover plates have been fitted to the finished wall surface.

The BAR001FIX bar valve fixing kit provides a method of surface siting exposed
bar valves onto a finished wall surface, using 15mm concealed pipe work.
If required, fit the bar valve fixing accessory following the relevant installation
instructions provided with the accessory kit and proceed to step 6 below.
The exposed valve and fixing bracket assembly MUST NOT be used as a grab
rail support method.
