    Just a thought - have you enough space, within the wall, to take all the components? Have a look in the box & I bet you'll have some hefty lumps of insides, to deal with!

    I know we had to be pretty accurate, just to bury the pipes on ours.

    you really need a false wall to install a flush mounting device. as we have.
    if you only have a wall then a surface mounting device is required.

    although you may be able to make a 4x2 timber frame, (then cladded/tiled) to enclose the flush unit.
    Get some gorm.

    I hadn't considered that. Well, if it is the case, I'll build a small stud wall to enclose the pipes. Thanks!
