new bath

[mwhines1968]

I am planning on installing a new bath and want to turn it the opposite way round so that the taps will not be under the window but on a wall allowing a mixer shower tap and wall fixing as well as shower screen. I would appreciate any advice on the plumbing processes involved and some advice on whether a combi boiler has enough pressure to run a shower mixer off the taps effectively.

regards

Should be quite straightforward.

Switch water off at at main stopcock.
Run hot and cold taps until they stop flowing (water in pipes).
Remove bath
Sort pipework and fit isolating valves.
Water back on whilst you happily continue.
Do the work and connect everything up.
Switch iso valves on

looking at this response - you would need to turn your GATE VALVES off , not main stopcock. The cold feed gate valve and the cold water to the bathroom gate valve.

Also make sure you leel the bath out and support it with the fixings provided.

its a combi boiler so needs the main stopcock off not gate valves.that will stop both hot/cold supply to house.
