The spark I got in to extend the ring circuit commented that my bath pipes are 15mm and should be 22mm. I had no idea.
I had removed the existing bath as I'm in the middle of renovating the bathroom (new suite, tiling walls & floors and building a false wall to hide a concealed cistern). I was just going to fit the new bath with taps ordered from bathstore.
Since he brought the issue of the pipes to my attention it has occurred to me that my bath taps probably won't fit if the pipes are non-standard. The previous taps were soldered in and I had to use a pipe cutter to remove them.
What are my options?
Can I just get a compression fitting that will convert from 15mm to 22mm? Or should I get a plumber in to replace the 1.5M of pipe that is accessible with 22mm pipe.
My hot water is supplied by a Boilermate 2 thermal store coupled with a Potterton Suprima boiler.
Cheers for any help.
