Hi, hoping to get some advice please on installing a new shower mixer for my Mum following a flooded bathroom.
I have managed to remove the existing old mixer (Aqualisa) which was probably installed in the 70s or 80s. The separate hot and cold supplies are 22mm, although it may be 3/4 inch......not sure how to check?
I have bought a new mixer (Triton) which requires a 15mm feed......l assume I need to fit a reducer 22cm to 15mm?......does it matter where I fit this?......I am planning to cut the existing 22mm pipe in the hall cupboard just before it feeds through to the bathroom.....presumably the later the better?
Final question, the existing shower feeds are 165mm apart. The new shower needs 150mm. Seems like 150mm is the standard now, so presumably I will need to drill out the goes in the wall so I can bend the pipes in a bit to reduce the gap to 150mm?
Any advice very greatly received!
