Hi,
Just looking for a bit of advice please.
Planning to fit a new P shaped shower bath in a slightly different location in existing bathroom. I have a Worcester Junior greenstar 24i combi boiler in the airing cupboard in the same bathroom. I reckon the hot pipe run straight to bath from boiler is about 2.5metres. The cold feed from outside is 15mm throughout the house. the hot feed from the boiler is 22mm to the current bath taps reducing to 15mm going to basin - then downstairs to kitchen directly below. I want a mixer tap on the bath with a portable shower head attached like this one http://www.bathstore.com/products/metro-bath-shower-mixer-261.html , and then a separate thermostatic shower valve halfway up the shower wall pipes hidden behind the tiled wall to the top shower head. Ive been told that the boiler should be fine to do this
can I reduce the 22 mm pipe out of the boiler straight down to 15mm and route it to the bath taps (increasing to 22mm if required), tee to the shower valve then tee to the basin then tee downstairs all in 15mm? Will this give me the best water pressure? are all bath taps 22mm?
Or should I just leave it at 22mm to bath taps reducing tee down to 15mm for the rest? this is what it does now - only I have an electric shower at the moment which I want to get rid of.
thanks for any help
