I bought a very cheap shower mixer from Toolstation - this one:
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Taps.../sd2946/p76879

I can't quite believe that it has no fixing holes to screw it to the wall.
Is that right? It's just supposed to hang off the pipework?

Also, I'm not quite sure I understand how to connect it. The mixer has two
'nuts' on the back that are a bit more than 13mm. There's then a sort of
cranked threaded bit that converts it down to a 13mm thread that looks like
it might take an olive and the nut from a 13mm compression fitting. Is that
right?

I can see the point of the cranked bits, as it allows some leeway in case
the holes are not quite in the right place.

So, what do you do exactly? You tighten all the fixings and I guess you can
check for leaks before burying the connections in the wall. You then bury
the fixings in the wall, but secured by what exactly, as the whole shower is
hanging off it?
