Hi firstly im new to the forum . Seems to be alot of advice , help and tips around so instead of reading everyones posts thought i would post regarding a few questions regarding our home project .
900 quadrant shower is going to be installed next week .
All wiring is ready .
Now the shower tray is a stone cast one with fret on the underside . No specifications on how to fit and does have these feet. See pic
Is mortar required under the base or just supporting where the feet are or can it just be set into place ?
The floor is being changed and adding 18mm ply though still undecided if to lift the existing boards or lay ontop ?
Quite heavy and solid. Brand new and a bargain buy for a winning bid of £1 lol with waste although i think im going to change for a mcalpine one
Luckily the joists are running the correct way . Unfortunatly the bath and sink waste are well above floor level so planning on making new hole. Bath is being removed . Sink in the corner where bath is and shower where the sink is . Again see pics definetly needs a update
Luckily as said the joists run the length of the shower. Unluckily the waste is in the back corner of the shower but will work that out
Planning to take the cold feed from sink. Reroute to the left a little and upto where shower is to be located. To which im planning to install a small service elbow to the shower yes ?
Then the plan is to batton the wall which will also have the electric feed and water supply behing then aquapanel that wall then once shower tray / floor is in place. Tank the walls for the enclosure. These are solid walls but just to make sure
This is the feed for the cold i was planning to take then blank off or even find exacty where it comes from and switch out a t piece for a straight coupling and get rid of the hot pipe all together ?
The cold will be diverted left under floor then up the wall to shower
Next the plan is to install a sink at the tap end of the bath ( not on same wall as window ) wh have a new pedastal sink to fit . The water hot and cold we are planning on taking from the bath but this is where im trying to figure out the easiest options
This is the existing plumbing for the bath ( boiler is directly below ) ( not a combi )
Hot is the left 22mm .
Best way of doing this . None of these go to the existing sink. Just to the bath then to the wall and down to the kitchen .
Idea ond trace it back a little . Cut. Fit a 22mm to 15mm reducer and join new 15mm pipe to the existing 15mm pipe after the hot tap t piece and dont use that hot for the sink .... go back to shower install and use the hot from there , rerouted down the wall / underfloor to the pedastal sink
Or
Do i cap off the hot 22mm ? T into the 15mm further along where it reduces and use that and use that ?
Or for both instalations . T off the pipes for the shower install where current sink is and use same pipes for sink and shower ? As only one will be used at any one time sink or shower ?
Or take the bath feed . Take it to the sink and then the cold to the shower
Decisions lol
Planning on using T piece for shower waste as it passes below the new sink pedastal and just have the one waste for both
Ohh and the floor im planning to do in sections . Shower first . Draw round shower onto the ply and cut . Put into place . Plumb shower . Bring in the rest of the board and should fit perfectly along side the cut out
Ok hope you can work out and understand everything im going on about
Advice / help / tips / what to do / dont do much apreciated
Thanks
Dave
