    cold everything

    mixer shower pipework

    it will work, but it depends how much pressure you want. if you want good pressure use a pump. A surrey flange is what you are after :)

    Should i have??

    there must be a point of isolation on this flexi or something just before or after. Otherwise the system would just keep filling and eventually start coming out of the safety discharge outside
