Great! thanks. So am I right in thinking that the handset is supported by the wall plate elbow alone? The thread doesn't look long enough to pass through the wall AND attach the elbow to it. So i'm guessing i'll have to have a hole in the wall for the elbow to poke through?

No! I've got some straight compression couplers to connect the plastic pipe to the chrome pipe. Take it that's the best way?

Ahhhhhh, you're a star, like squeaky mentioned though, looks like it should be supplied. Never mind, will go and get a couple tomorrow. What about the fittings supplied with the shower head? How should they be arranged? One thing that's always confused me about these kinds of fittings...

Hi guys, I bought this swanky shower & handset (or so I thought).. http://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/premier-series-l-triple-thermostatic-valve-with-square-shower-head-handset.aspx ..and it didn't come with full fitting instructions. I've done the valve, that came with instructions...

Yeh?! Where's the towel rail Norcon??

Perfect! I knew I should have just jumped straight in with No.4...!

Hi folks, back again... I'm about to plump in a towel rail radiator in the bathroom. The pipes come up from under the floorboards, and i'm wondering what is the best way to go about it. I'm using plastic pipe, but have some copper pipe lying around if necessary. Do i either... 1) Feed...

Fair enough, it is only the bath and it'll do quite honestly. The main thing is that the shower we're installing soon is OK, but i'm quite sure that has 3/4" inlets so should be fine, hopefully! Thanks again for all your help and time :)

This is the bath mixer tap if that helps? http://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/prime-floor-mounted-freestanding-bath-shower-mixer-chrome.aspx

Hi Rob, these are what I bought to connect to the bath mixer tap.. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Flexible-Monobloc-Tap-Connector-15-x-10-x-300mm-Pack-2/p/160135 So the 22mm pipework reduces to 15mm to fit the hose

Hmm, i'll double check the flexi hoses, i did have to buy some others cos i drilled through the ones that were provided! So maybe I got 15mm > 3/4BSP instead. I've definitely had to reduce to 15mm where the pipework meets the flexi hoses though

Haha, I meant the nut at the top where the expansion pipe comes out ;) The pressure is OK, and nothing to grumble about if you didn't know there was a pump fitted, but can't call it powerful, just average I guess. I've used 22mm pipe and full bore valves everywhere to and from the pump...

Thanks Rob, ended up unscrewing the expansion nut at the top and syphoning the water out. Thanks for everyone else's help too - managed to fit the cold water feed to the pump, the essex flange to the cylinder, all pipework, and now we have a fully functioning shower pump (currently only...

So, i've emptied the cold water tank, there's no more hot water coming out of the taps, and i'm ready to fit the flange to the hot water cylinder....except there's nothing coming out of the drain valve on the cylinder! I've turned it all the way anti-clockwise to the point that the nut pretty...

You're a legend! Thank you so much :)

Well i'm just trying to avoid having to drain the whole tank. If it won't make a difference, then i'll just use the pipe that's there, but if it will, or at least might, then i'd rather do it properly. My guess is that by having a 15mm outlet it defeats the object of having 22mm pipe, as only a...

There is a drain point, great! Thanks. With regards to fitting a outlet off the cold water tank, i found an outlet already there which is no longer used, so I'm thinking I can use that. However, it's a 15mm outlet, and the one I want to fit is 22mm because it's going to a shower pump. If i...
