It says that the new connection needs to be lower than the existing feed by 60mm so that if the mains supply should fail, and the cold water tank level drops, the hot water supply ceases first. If the cold water ceased first, the user of the shower could be scalded.

I need to install a pump in my airing cuboard for my new mixer shower. The instructions says that it needs to be wired to a 3 amp fused switch, my question is there is already a fused 3 amp switch in the aring cuboard that is for the central heating control box (or what ever it is called), can I...

Thanks everyone!!

I am trying to install a surrey flange on my hot water tank for my new shower. I thought I had done everything to drain the water from it: I have held up the ball cock on the cold water tank in the attic so no more water can come in from rising main. Turned on all the hot water taps in the...

Good idea, I had not thought of that. Thanks

Hi, I am installing a mixer shower and I am going to take the cold supply from the cold water tank in the attic. Have bought the 22mm tank connector, the pump and shower instruction recommends that this outlet is approx 60mm lower than the existing cold water outlet for the rest of the house...

ok thanks, in the information for these pushfit joints it says that they do not maintain earth continuity, and the joints will need to be bridged with a continuity strap. Does the pipework from the hotwater tank, pump and cold water tank to the shower need to be earthed??

Thinking of using copper pushfit joints like these ones http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/sea/searchresults.jsp?_dyncharset=UTF-8&q=straight+coupler+22mm+push+fit&pn=1&pd=1&pi=1&cn=1&cd=1 to connect the straights for the new runs to my shower which will have a 1.5bar pump on it and to the...

thanks!

sorry meant no whole for overflow pipe not waste pipe!!

This is probably a really stupid question, but I have just bought a close coupled toilet, and it has no hole for the waste pipe. Had a look through installation guide, and no mention of it, does it not need one??

Anyone know what I should do on the run from the pump to the shower valve?? :D

delivery side is going to be roughly 10.5m by the time the pipework goes up into the attic across the house and back down into the bathroom.

Hi, took the good advice from my last post and have been to buy a showerforce pump ready for when I install my new thermostatic mixer shower. I hope someone can help me with my question, my shower instruction manual for the shower says that the pipe runs for both hot and cold should be 22mm...

Thanks everyone!

My bathroom is 1.65m x 2.52m and I want to install some low voltage halogen downlights instead of the horrible strip lighting we have at the moment. How do I work out the level of lighting needed for a room that big? The pack I am looking at buying is a set of 5 25w downlights, will this be...

Thanks expertboy! My last post must have crossed with your last, I was replying to the one before yours. Thanks :D

:D ye! my question was if they are saying 22mm pipework instead of a bigger diameter pipe will reduce the pressure loss, would putting 15mm pipework in instead for the whole run reduce the pressure loss even more(increasing the performance of the shower a little bit more). :D

The shower is a Gainsborough Ambassador Thermostatic Shower (Recessed Model). The valve has plastic inlet elbows (push fit type) and accept 15mm pipe. The valve outlet 1/2" BSP. The instruction says a minimum of 1m and maximum of 70m head. The cold water tank is in the attic and is about...

I am just about to put in all the pipework for my new shower. The shower will be on a gravity fed system. I will be making a connection to the cold water tank in the attic for the cold and I am going to use a surrey flange connection to the hotwater tank for the hot. My instruction manual for...
