    Grotherm 1000 mixer valve disaster

    Okay, and if I have all that then I should be okay? I am assuming top left is what it all looks like together?. I do not have the little round piece that comes after the olive in your picture and it was not in the box that the guy sold me. The shower actually worked pretty well but there was...

    The bar mixer screws straight on to the face plate you can see in the picture. I am trying to send you a new picture with the bar attached to the plate but it doesn't seem to want to upload

    Grotherm 1000 mixer valve disaster

    I don't have all that. I have the wall plate which you can see and I have the olive but I don't have anything that screws into the wall plate with an external thread for the valve.

    Grotherm 1000 mixer valve disaster

    When you say "do up" the olive how do I do that? It is just a brass ring. I have pushed it on to the pipe but I haven't done anything more to it

    Grotherm 1000 mixer valve disaster

    They are vado fittings. Should I just be able to fit the olive and then screw on the mixer valve? Which is what I did but the shower leaked. I had convinced myself I had to buy something else. Should the olive just sit around the end of the pipe? It fits around the pipe snug like a wedding ring...

    The s unions look to me like they would be completely water tight but they do not fit onto the fixings

    Grotherm 1000 mixer valve disaster

    I fitted the olive. Although I'm not certain it is fitted correctly (I can't see any other way it could go) it doesn't seem to be serving much of a purpose. Pipes will push back

    As mush as I would love for somebody to have done the job for me, the previous shower gave up and there is a limited budget to replace it.

    Grotherm 1000 mixer valve disaster

    I have been trying all day to fit a grotherm 1000 mixer shower. I fear I may have bitten of more than I could chew (me being a bit hopeless at DIY) anyway the shower was fitted and looked great....until I turned the water on and water started leaking out of the mixer valve and down the wall.
