Install the water supply line with an elbow and a 1/2" NPT
brass nipple at the desired location of the shower rose.
2.
Do not strap the pipes down until the proper depth has
been set.

between the face of the elbow and the finished ceiling is 5-

by the plumber to suite the installation and allow for the
recessed shower ring and head to sit flush against the
finished ceiling.
