I am doing new shower work and plan to install, among other fixtures, a hand shower attached to a hose, fed from a shower wall outlet. My question is about plumbing the wall outlet.
<!—-><!—-> <!—->
The wall outlet is a Hansgrohe number 27454001 with a ½ inch female NPT inlet. See specs at http://www.hansgrohe-usa.com/images/db/specs/spec27454.pdf
How do I do the rough plumbing to assure the ½ inch female NPT fitting is projecting just the right amount from the yet to be finished tile shower wall?<!—-><!—->
<!—-> <!—->
I assume the wall outlet needs to be snug to the threads and to the shower wall.

"What is a slip by fip 90? (Is that a drop elbow?)"Yes. But I am not sure what the slip is. I have only seen it used on PVC fittings (slide fit). But I guess it could be used for sweated connections."What is a gal nippel?" galvanized nipple.nip - nipple.fip - female iron pipe (thread). NPT - national pipe thread that covers both FIP and MIP (male).escution - trim, cover plate, beauty ring. That disk with a hole in it (often chrome) that covers the rough hole where the pipe comes out the wall.
