Hi
Sorry this post is quite long, but there are a few questions I need answers to!!
- I want to install a mixer shower above my bath (there is no shower there at the moment), but I need some advice on how to do it. I've got a hot water cylinder on the same floor.
My plan - as in the pre-school drawing in this link - is as follows:
Drawing
1. Take feeds off of the copper hot & cold pipes underneath the bath (which currently go to the bath taps) using compression 'T' fittings
2. Connect the bath taps from the 'T' fittings to go to the bath taps.
3. From the free branches on the 'T' fittings, connect longer flex hoses running up behind the wall to the shower valve
Questions:
1. Will this work?? !!!!!
2. My shower hasn't been delivered yet, but do they generally accept tap fittings or does it need to be copper pipe? If the latter, how do I get around this?
Of course, I'm probably barking up the wrong tree completely, so If anyone can suggest 'ANY' viable solution which doesn't involve soldering, please let me know. As I'm a novice (can't you tell !), as much detail as possible would be great!!
Many Thanks in advance
