Can you use the push fits directly onto copper piping or do you need a special adaptor to start you off?
Now the daft question . Is 15mm pipe 15mm o/d and is the old imperial 1/2" o/d or i/d ? Are they compatible or if imperial can I adapt it to metric ?(house about 50 yrs old but I don't know whats under the bath yet).
Our b/room was separate w/c and bath before I got here but knocked into one, can I run the pipes (more the joint as I turn into shower) in the cavity or is this a big no-no, I intend to leave a "blank" tile square behind shower for access but it will have a sealed cover plate over it.
I'm asking 'cos I want to use the plastic pipe to install shower but I'm not sure what to expect under the bath when I rip the panel off.
Wiring in ready but now getting nagged about plumbing. I'm o.k with copper but not used plastic before and I don't want to be a total dork when I go and ask for the stuff
TIA
