Replacing exposed 3/4" 143mm shower valves

[pauldee]

My shower valve is playing up and the easier thing might be to replace it.

Most seem to have a pipe centre distance of 150mm specified, but mine seems to be 143mm. Is it likely that a 150mm will be adjustable and fit? I notice some have a range but the ones I've seen that do are quite expensive, I'm looking for a cheaper option.

Also, the inlet and outlet on mine are 3/4" BSP, whereas almost every replacement I've seen are 1/2" BSP, can I fit adjusters for these?

Any pics of the old valve ?

Here you go. It's quite unusual as it sticks quite far out.

something like this should fit if the pipes in the wall are 15mm
