monobloc mixer taps

[slaphead1]

Hi this is my first post i have recently fitted monobloc mixer taps in a friends house to downstairs toilet sink upstairs wash basin and bath i think the water supply is a direct system so do i need to fit check valves. thanks

Actually it's your second post, but I won't hold that against you

It's always a good idea to fit check valves on the cold side if it's mains pressure, if in doubt go for it. If the cold's fed off a loft tank then it's not necessary to fit check valves

if you`ve got unbalanced pressure across the mixer you need check valves . I know a bit about unbalance
