I got a couple of male 90° 22-15mm compression couplings to fit onto
the end of the pipes and up into the valve hot and cold inlets. This
way the pipes can go straight through the wall at a right angle.

I think people are having trouble working out what you're trying to do.
The
only explanation that makes any sense to me is if you're somehow trying
to
attach the compression elbows directly to the shower valve compression
fittings*. Lord knows how you'd achieve this. What you're supposed to do
is
attach the shower to 15mm pipe using the compression fittings normally
supplied.

So if you use short sections of 15mm pipe between your elbows and the
shower
valve Bob will be your uncle.

* Don't tell me it doesn't have compression fittings! All showers do,
don't
they?


No. Mostly they have threaded fittings, which need to be attached to
compression fittings to go to copper pipes.

All the ones I've seen have threaded fittings that enable you to connect to
15mm copper pipe using the supplied nuts and olives. If they aren't
compression fittings then the Pope is not a Catholic. Perhaps if you're
talking about something else you could illustrate by pointing to appropriate
examples at Screwfix or BES?
