    Anyone here used chromed solder fittings? Did they survive the torch?

    Yes, you just need to file off the chrome plating from the end of the pipe about 15mm, and use a gentle heat.
    as others have said, pipe should be in the wall, then a cp bent compression tap connector.

    A thankyou is payment enough .

    It'd look much better using solid pipe bent to run flat against the wall with the valve hidden low down.  
    I agree.  It needs to be against the wall.  That will make a big difference.  At the minute it appears to be dangling in mid air.
