    Fitting a Triton Bar Mixer Showers

    Hi Richrdthe3rd. Thanks for the reply, I'll take a look. Inside the dogleg is a small, what looks to be reducer (6mm or so). What is this for? Will this need to be replicated? Will I need a ISO valve and 'Y' strainer on H & C? Also out of interest, why are these needed? Cheers.
