In the process of refurbishing the bathroom. We need to fit freestanding standpipes and the floor will be tiled. What I can't get my head round is the sequence of tiling and the plumbing.
1) This is not helped by the fact that I can't seem to find any information on standpipes. Are they simply sleeves and a 22mm (?) pipe runs up the centre to a tap connector? Or are the standpipes threaded at the top to take the taps?
2) I think that I will need to have the underfloor plumbing in place and have the pipes sticking up through the floor. The trouble with that as I see it is how my tiler will get the holes cut in the right place so the tile can slide over. This does seem to be a bit of a cock-eyed approach since tiling is messy and I can see the standpipes getting wrecked with adhesive!
I am sure that there has to be a much better way of approaching this.
Many thanks
