SWMBO/A wants one of these

so I'm looking for a way to plumb it in that gives good mechanical fixing to a concrete block wall. I could make something with a bit of steel plate and a couple of bib tap wall plates, but is there anything available (at a sensible price) that isn't designed for bathroom bar mixers?


Chase out the wall for the pipes and plaster over? Or are you planning on mounting it on a frame so the pipes are surface mounted rather than buried?

I agree. If you want it neat make a fookin big 'ole, put in structure that really supports it [wood plate/metal plate, according to your skill set] and cement the structure into the wall.

I cant remember how my similar fittings mounted, but I ended up tiling with some means of fitting them to the pipes afterwards.

I should have been clearer (again!) This will be buried in the wall and plastered/tiled over. Since asking, I've found this:

which is more-or-less what I was thinking of. Any other suggestions?
