I am trying to fit a concealed shower valve into this wall but i have some doubts about the sealing around the control knobs when the whole thing comes together.
As per photos the decorative rings that go between the cover plate and the threaded piston things has internal rubber O ring which seals the gap between the piston and the ring. However the ring does not have an O ring on the outside even though there is a recess for it on the outer diameter which is I believe meant to seal between the ring and the hole in the cover plate.
Am I mean to buy some rings for the outer dia of the ring to create the seal or use silicone etc ?
I have access to the back of this wall if that makes any difference.
thanks all in advance for replies
