I agree - this is pretty much exactly what I did with a Hans Grohe

the top of the (attic) joists, on which the feed pipe was clipped,
then it went down via an elbow and into a straight tap connector
fitting (this made it easier to get the tap connector at exactly the
right level compared to the ceiling. The showerhead's chrome ceiling
pipe then just screwed into the tap connector, with the (supplied)
chrome ring hiding the joint.



Brilliant - that sounds identical to what I have and need to do.
Thanks very much

Great showers!

I forgot to add the one hard-won bit of wisdom - use an end-joint solder
tap connector, and solder fittings on everything vertical above the
pipe. I did the latter, but not the former, at least at first, and when
loaded with ptfe the friction in the showerhead/tap connector joint was
greater than in the compression fitting tap connector, so rather than
tightening up the bsp joint, the compression joint twirled around the pipe.

If you have a spare body to lie in the attic, you could get away with it/
