Default Plumbing a shower

Yes, it is an electric shower (new one will be a Mira Advance ATL).
I'd rather not have the pipe on show as this is how we have it at the
moment (hole through ceiling and chrome pipe down to shower)


Hence why I was suggesting a hole through the top plate of the stud
wall. The pipe then comes down through the wall and emerges into the
back of the shower. Plastic pipe would indeed make this simpler (no
joints in the wall). The final connection to the shower is usually via a
15mm compression elbow.
