Hi all,
My shower is run off a combi boiler and is about 12 years old. Its just started running cooler even with the hot turned right up. The taps in the bath and sink are running red hot so its not the boiler.
I've taken the valve off and cleaned the filters. They weren't that bad TBH.
I'm guessing its kaput and I don't fancy trying to source new inserts.
The problem is, I've measured the inlet pipe centres and they're 130mm instead of the standard 150mm.
God only knows why the plumber fitted a non standard size one all those years ago!
I'm struggling to find a replacement. I'm planning on replacing the entire bathroom next year so don't want to spend a fortune. Just fitting a new valve would do. I just can't find any.
Can anyone signpost me to a website that sells them?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Davy !!!

Thanks.
I'm not sure if the eccentric adapters would work without setting the valve too far forward. Are there any fixed at 130mm centres? It seems that using this method, any 150mm valve can be used, but I'm not sure retrospectively.

Thanks Guys. Yes that would've done.
Just to wrap this up, I brought my tools in from work to see if I could fix it and when I took it off again I could see that it had the offset connectors already fitted so I've just ordered a cheap valve to see me through till the summer when I can change the whole bathroom.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
Davy !!!
