Thanks :)

Managed to take a picture (excuse old jeans and leg hair :lol: )

Evening gents, Am in the process of fitting downlighters to my bathroom and after venturing into the loft discovered that printed on the plasterboard ceiling sheets is 'fireproof plasterboard made by british plaster...' (can't make out the rest) Just to be better safe than sorry is there...

Ok thanks for the ideas...... Anybody shed some light on the use of an service valve as a restrictor?

Nope it's definately on the right way up, shower hose comes out the bottom - you can only put it on one way up otherwise the temperature numbers on the right hand knob are upside down :wink: Going by Rico's second post the hot/cold polarity is correct. So still open to ideas ...

hupidy :)

It's a combi boiler. My original thread on fitting the thing is here for reference. When running the basin hot tap ther seems to be ok pressure. Since my last post i've taken the temperature knob off the right side of the mixer and wound the splined valve to full then replaced the knob but no...

Well she's been bolted up a while now and I get nothing out of her except warmish water. Makes no difference what setting I put the temperature setting onto, I've even clicked it past the safety setting of '38' onto the max of '48' :( I did have a leaflet with instructions on taking one side...

Thanks for your time in hunting that out and your time in replying, much appreciated. Will bolt her up in a while so fingers crossed :) Cheers G

Following on from my previous shower mixer thread I've searched and found a couple of threads on the hot/cold feed orientation on thermo mixers but they hav'nt ended in a definative answer :) Would I be right in thinking that the side of the mixer bar that contains the 'thermostatic...

Good news then :) Thanks again. G

It's a combi living in the kitchen downstairs. If it were my place I'd rip everything out and start again but as it's rented I don't want to pour the earth into the house (that's why it's getting a nice bargain LIDL £14.99 thermostatic mixer :D ) EDIT: found a pic of the dog legs and mixer

Well to get a decent temperature with the current standard mixer you need to whack the hot and cold on quite a way and then drop the hot down to get it to a nice temperature - problem after a while is the hot flow seems to drop resulting in the pipework going into a 'hammering' session. To cure...

I would if I could figure out how to! :) Yup thermostatic controlled bar - the dogleg (or 's' connectors are they called) connectors are 2 different sizes at thr end - larger for going into the mixer bar and smaller for going into the 90 degree elbow. Ideally I would like to test it out...

Yup I think so too - The new stainless dogleg sections that would screw into the 90 degree bend look like they are a slightly different diameter as well. Not being clued up on my sizes is there a standard size for those or has a change occured. The thread pitch looks the same but the new ones...

Soldered :?
