Plumbing for Hand Held Shower

[sirbOOmdotcom]

I am installing a hand shower in my gutted bathroom (along with rain shower, regular shower, and tub). There's two temp valves, two diverter valves, opposite sides of the tub. Certainly overkill, but I'm a consistency OCD nutball. Anywho... I don't get how I connect the hand shower water connection to the drop L? Do I make a short bit of copper pipe and a male screw in adapter on both sides? Any photos? I can't find a single freakin' photo of the actual connection of the hand shower bar setup to its water port. Thanks.

Are you referring to a separate connection at the wall for the hand shower?
If yes, what I did was to mount a drop-L on a wall stud setback just far enough so that a 4" brass nipple would just stick out of the wall tile with about 1" of thread. Then the hand shower hose connection threads on to that nipple.

My hand shower has a horizontal mounting pole that allows the shower head to be positioned anywhere along the pole (to act as a stationary shower head). The pole can be mounted anywhere on the wall of course.

horizontal goes left and right. Vertical goes up and down.
