Default Need to cut a circle in concrete block wall

I have to install an outdoor shower for a rinse off to the pool. The shower
valve has a solid brass body and I have to cut a hole about 7" in diameter
to recess the valve into it.

How can I cut a 7" diameter for this? The trim is not much bigger so a
clean cut would be necessary. My thinking is that I draw the outline on the
concrete wall, then drill holes (many holes) along the perimeter using a
hammer drill. Any other ideas greatly appreciated.

Get a nice looking piece of 12 x 12 tile or something similar to mount
on the wall - something that you can cut more easily. Then you won't
have to be as concerned about the neatness of the hole in the block
wall. Form follows function.


Build a kind of shelving system with a box to hold the faucet so you
don't have to recess the valve body in the wall. You know, blend the box
into some shelves to hold shampoo, soap, whatever. Form follows function.
