hot on left works fine, thanks everyone

ok thanks I can't blow through right tail (all settings same). I can just about blow through left tail (all settings same).

ok thanks. don't have a manual and can't find anything online so hoping its on left.

my son gave me a shower mixer tap to replace my hot/cold bath taps http://jaquar.com/main/flr-5659-exposed-bath-shower-mixer-tub-mounted does the hot water supply go on the left? or doesn't it matter? it looks like the left knob if pressure and right is the hold/cold mixer

I think I need help from a plumber? have valient eco TEC plus 824

ok thanks. are there many different types of isolator connectors and tap connectors? what is a "normal soldered tap connectors" or "normal standard T? because this is supply a mixer shower I wanted to avoid possible flow problems with flexi hose so I was planning to redo the pipework...

I'm fitting a mixer tap to the bath but it has hot on the left so I need to swap over the hot/cold pipe work. I'm an engineer but not a plumber and wanted to prepare everything before I start to avoid long delays. I'm still confused but here are a few images that may help. isolator...
