Shower mixer with exposed hot and cold feeds

[tallrobw]

Hi,

Not sure if this is a dumb question (first post, so please be gentle!) but I'd like to fit a shower mixer to solid wall in my (very small) bathroom; I don't want to fit any 'fake' wall and make the room/space even smaller, and I don't want to channel the pipework into the wall. The ideal thing would be to drop the hot and cold feeds through the ceiling straight down into a mixer, and here lies the problem...

I am yet to find a mixer valve that doesn't have the feeds disappearing off into a cavity wall. Are there shower mixer valves available that just mount onto the wall and have all the pipework exposed, not just the output? If so, who makes them and where can I buy them?

Thank-you for any advice, even if it's "don't do that, do this..." type advice

Cheers
-Rob.

Rob,

Most of the exposed/recessed mixer valves allow to turn the inlets valves thru 90 deg to accept wall mounted pipes.

Just go to local plumbers merchant or B&Q and take some out of boxes and you will see what I mean.

Hope this helps.
