Hi,

Trying to locate a straight version of this angled adapter/reducer for a shower.

The (cheap) shower came with these angled ones (see attached image). The idea being that you can adjust to straighten up the bar mixer if your pipework isn't coming out the wall straight.

Stupid really because they are coming out the wall straight and these adapters either won't line up straight or line up but aren't tight enough to stop water seeping through (even with 20+ winds of PTFE tape).

I just want to throw them away and replace with a straight version.

Trouble is I have been searching words like 'adapter, reducer, threaded, BSP' etc. but to no avail.

Anyone able to identify?
