Best mounting depth for Hansgrohe i-Box?

[krik]

Not sure if it matters which trim is used, but I'm wondering what the right mounting depth for the iBox is so that the handles fit best with the escutcheon cover (only a small gap between them). Don't want to end up with the handles sticking way out if I can help it. In case it does matter, I'm planning to put in the 04231000 S trim.

Absolutely. And with the recommended setting depth 2 1/2 to 4 1/8, that leaves a potentially big range for an aesthetic mistake. I saw a picture from Terry in a recent thread that had the handles way sticking out, and I really don't want to end up with it looking like that ... but I don;t know whether that was installed in the normal range, or exceptionally shallow / deep. Instructions I can find say nothing about "ideal" depth.

Use the maximum setting depth and hope you do not need extensions if the wall doesn't come out like you planned.
