We bought our house with a claw foot tub that wasnt hooked up, but had the
rough in plumbing done. I am now ready to go out and buy my fixtures but it
looks like the rough in might be wrong. Our water lines are 3-3/8" approx
apart, and the drain line is in line with the supply lines, not 2" offset.
Looking through my fixture options, it appears this rough in is for deck
mounted faucets, which is just fine, except my tub needs wall mounted
fixtures. any ideas?

Thanks all,

It should not matter. The chrome supply tubing can be field bent
to produce the required offset. If neatness counts (they'll be
highly visible), buy a tubing bender; it will make perfect radius
bends every time.

If there is not enough clearance under/behind the tub to make
long radius bends, you'll have to put a pair of elbows on each
supply pipe, right at the floor to make the offset.
