Hi all. I need some advice on how to fit a bath mixer please.
I'm a self-builder, finishing a bathroom myself.
My plumber has left me with 2 x 1/2 inch threaded outlets in the wall, around which I've tiled.
He's supplied 2 x 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch S-shaped inlet connectors. They're 'cranked' so that you can adjust the gap/level of the taps.
Onto those, we plan to fit a Grohe mixer unit, which has 3/4 inch nuts.
My question is - how do you screw the 1/2 inch thread into the 1/2 inch socket so it won't leak? It's just a metal thread into a metal thread.
There was a fibre washer in the box, but it seems to be the wrong size to fit into the hole.
Grateful for a steer please. Thanks, M.
