Fixing a shower to the wall

[illingtondave]

Hello, can anyone help with a shower related issue?

I've recently ripped out the old pink bathroom suite and will be fitting a new one. I have bought a mixer shower to go over the bath, and intend to fix it to a solid breezeblock wall. The problem is, the shower i have bought has no fixings on it for the bottom mixer part.

The rather dubious instruction manual only says "fix hose inside the wall"

The brass mixer part is quite heavy, and originally I had intended using flexi pipes to connect it, going through the wall. As I cannot actually screw it to the wall, is it safe enough to use copper water supply pipes in the hope that they will keep it secure and water tight? Or is there some way of fixing the shower to the wall so i can use the flexible hoses.


Thanks...

Make and model please.

No - that will encourage it to leak.

Have you asked the supplier this question?
