How do I attach the shower head to the wall?

How do I attach this shower head to my 18mm plywood in my van? I have searched the plumbing section for something and just cannot find anything with some kind of nut that can screw tight while still allowing for a hose connection at the back. Please help. Thanks.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Guzza. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about attaching a shower head.

We'd need some more information about the plumbing fittings on the wall to advise further. Shower heads like these are designed to screw directly onto 1/2-inch threaded plumbing on the wall. So, you'd need something like this Brasshards 15 x 40mm Chrome Plated Brass Male Female Extension mounted in the plywood for the shower head to screw onto. On the other side of the plywood, you would screw in a Brasshards 20 x 15mm Brass Threaded Hex Reducing Nipple, which will change the thread size to 20mm allowing a Pope 12mm Universal Tap Adaptor to screw on for your hose.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @Guzza

This particular shower head is generally connected to a Brasshards 900mm Tails Single Screw Outlet. The tail as it's referred to is screwed onto a noggin behind the shower wall. You can install this plumbing fitting to your 18mm plywood panel and modify the bottom of the copper pipe with a Brasshards 15C x 20MI Brass Compression Union which will allow you to connect a standard garden hose fitting.

If you had something else in mind please let us know.

Hi Mitch,

Thank you very much, I have now solved my problem using your solution and padding the connector to have a tight fit. I did see these in the plumbing section but I just did not know if that was what I should use. Thank you to all that gave me feedback and thank you to the Bunnings DIY community. I am building out a van as a camper and have learned so much and I wiil be so happy to offer my experience if needed.
