45 degree shower elbows are generally 1/2" npt pipe (that measures .84" o.d.) so the pipe that is stubbed out should be a 1/2" galvanized nipple (.84" o.d.) with a cap. That way whoever the plumber is, he can simply unscrew the nipple from the female drop ear 90 fitting that was roughed in and screw the new 1/2" shower head 45 elbow into the drop ear fitting.
Kerdi Pipe Seal
The mixing valve seal makes sense to me. The one on the left which is meant for the plumbing where a shower head is does not make sense, at least to me.
I have two of their seals here, the 1/2 inch and the 3/4 inch. They are clearly for copper pipes or any rough plumbing that is no larger than 1/2 or 3/4.
A shower arm is not going to connect to that pipe.
