shower mixer pipe collars

[number9scores]

Hi, My plumber and joiner have not co-operated on my shower enclosure and left a small. niggly problem. The old installation and tiles were remved. The plumber installed the new shower tray and enclosure then the joine installed shower panels. We kept the Bristan Artisan mixer on the wall. This has left more of the pipework protruding and there isn't enough thread for the chrome collars to thread on the shower mixer pipes. The collars are only about 20-22mm deep and I need something about 3-4 mm deeper. Any ideas? Can I obtain different collars ? This is very stressful - a good looking shower install but not quite finished and ready to use. thanks.

I can't really picture your installation, so a pic would be very handy. Alternately, you could try posting on the plumbing forum! It seems that you are trying to resolve an issue when it should be your plumber/joiner sorting out the problem. Good luck.

Yes you can get different collars. ....I had same problem not so long back luckily my plumber had a nice selection of thicknesses to choice from however im not sure if you can buy them its the sort of thing you keep when renewing old showers im sure someone on the plumbing forum might know more
