Out of 110cm, otherwise it will not be able to install the lifting rod shower, not less than 90cm, it is not good to open the valve every time.
2. Spacing between two inner wires
   Experienced plumbers know that the standard spacing for the inner elbow of the shower is 15cm in concealed, the error is no more than 5mm, and the surface is 10cm. Remember to measure the centering. If it is too wide or too narrow, it will not be installed. Do not rely on adjusting the wire. The adjustment range of the wire adjustment is very limited.
3. After the wall tiles are attached, keep a flat surface with the wall
   The silk head is reserved. It is necessary to consider the thickness of the wall tile. It is better to make it 15mm higher than the wall of the blank. If it is level with the wall of the blank, you will find that the wire is too deep in the wall. It’s not good to put on the shower, but I don’t dare to get too much out of the wall.
