Marflow Shower PL8 - Shower Fixing Plate (PL8) 2 Year Guarantee PL8

If you're in the position to do a first install ie before all the plasterboard and tile goes in (or can even cut out a section for an after-install) this is what you want. This product makes the install so easy. No fussing about with precise 150mm on-centre measurements for pipe fittings. This plate guarantees. Want to to mess about getting the measurements spot on and haggle with wood and screws that don't want to take precision? Be my guest. For £20 this is foolproof and a joy to work with.

Fits perfectly on the shower.

Good value for money and does exactly as intended by getting your pipe centres bang on 150mm.Although, as mentioned in previous reviews, there is (in my opinion) a flaw in the design. The supplied fixings that slide over the copper pipe and are fixed in place by compression do not create enough friction on the pipe to securely hold it whilst tightening down the shower valve. If you tighten the valve nuts just a fraction too much the whole thing has to be dismantled and you have to start again.Apart from this, the shower is installed, leak free and working great.

Arrived on time. Easy to fit and makes the piping up for the shower fitting so much easier than without it.

This plate is the best way to guarantee that the pipes are in the right place and held securely during bathroom construction ready to receive the shower control when commissioning the installation

This was a great idea whoever invented it once you’ve run your 15mm hot & cold pipe work feed the tails through this plate which is machined at the industry standard 150mm spacing and once secured it ain’t going nowhere, very impressed and would defiantly use again on my second bathroom in the loft

Have used these shower pl8's several times now without any problems. Imo, the best shower fixing out there. Great price too!.

Used these a few times. The treaded coupling can spin when tightening the shower bar onto it because it just relies on friction of the compression fitting to stop it rotating. If coupling were even 1-2mm longer you'd be able to get a super-slim spanner on it to counterhold it.Be aware that for a neat installation you need to measure everything very precisely (+/- 1mm). Take your time and check everything multiple times before cutting pipes etc.
