    Bath filler - combine hot and cold tap feeds?

    The new bath has deck mounted valves that feed into a filling waste like this. The filler has two inlets, one is blanked off off the other has an elbow joint. The questions is: can I mix the outlet from the valves and just feed into the single feed on the filler or do I need to remove...

    Connecting bath deck mounted taps to filler

    Replacing old room thermostat (mains wired)

    The current room thermostat is a c. 40 year old Danfoss mechanical thing. There are only three wires coming in an out - live and (switched), neutral and earth. The thermostat mechanism itself just directly switches this circuit on and off (which I presume is part of the pump/boiler circuit)...
