Hi

I am looking to install a double ended bath against the far end of a rectangular small room (1870mm wide). Im planning to install a 4 hole deck tap and shower hose. Layout as below

As the taps will be at the back of the bath I was thinking of using 900mm stell braided flex hoses up to the taps. in essence do you think this will work but more specifically
1. Are there any problems with using the flex hoses at 900mm lengths

2. Can the 4 hole deck taps plus flex hose storage device be installed before moving the bath in position

Thanks for any thoughts on this

Should be ok, they might restrict flow a bit

2. Can the 4 hole deck taps plus flex hose storage device be installed before moving the bath in position?

How else are you going to attach it?!!

Perhaps the OP is a limbo dancer.

WEll wasn't sure if this was viable, I havn't seen either a picture or one installed like this? All walls are solid

I wasn't sure if maintenance or the lack of ability to get to it was a major concern
Thanks

Maintenance should not be an issue if it is just a new washer or cartridge that needs replacing.

If you ever need to replace the whole tap, now that's a whole new ball game.
