Hello all.
As you can see i am new here and need an advice. I'm not really familiar with all the terms, but i will try to explain what i want to find out. I am doing my bath remodeling and bought Grohe faucet for bath. It is Grohe/Chiara Neu Exposed Thermostatic Tub Filler model 34097. What i had before is an old price pfister faucet with three valve shower/tub diverter inside the wall. New faucet goes outside. Problem is that pipes are 8" apart and Grohe needs between 5 to 7. I figured for each pipe i buy two 90 degr bends and female end, so when sweat together, they will be about 6" apart and have female connectors for new faucet. But now i think female connectors will stick out of the wall too far. I do not have the new faucet yet, and have to wait three to four weeks to get it, but really want to finish this and close the wall. I wonder if anyone has installation instructions for this faucet and can tell if the female connector has to stick out the wall a little(providing the wall will be closed by sheetrock and tiles) or be flush with it or recessed?
I hope i explained this correctly.
Thanks
