The solution would be to get some nipples about 3" long but I can't
find any. Does anyone know if they exist, and if so who does them?

BES do them, 'barrel nipples'

Ah, yes. I'd found those before but I wasn't sure about using
galvanized fittings (I suppose they'd be OK as brass contains lots of
zinc) and the lengths aren't given. The pics make them look a little
too short.

Did you have good look around on the site? They do quite a selection of
lengths. I happened to see 3" and 4" when I took a quick look. I think
it's
possible to get chromed extension pieces, I think for radiators, but I
can't
remember if they're available in 3/4" BSP.

I happened to come across them when I was looking to do a straight through
the wall mounting for a bib cock a few weeks ago, until I happened to find
a
wall flange with brazed back pipe intended for the job.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and where did you find those?

What's afoot? Twelve inches, as a rule.
