Advice - what size end caps do I need to isolate bar shower when removed??

[bilabonic]

Hi All

I’m wondering what size end caps I need to isolate the H and C that goes to a bar shower when removed.

I’m my mind I’m thinking it might be 3/4” BSP?

Or is it bigger?

Plus will I not need some firm of rubber/nylon washer to put in place as well??

Thanks

You should already have isolation valves on the 15mm pipes supplying the bar mixer.

And if you don't ,3/4 BSP with a seal will fit virtually all bar mixer unions.

And if you dont have iso valves fitted now would be a good time to fit a pair of the full bore type.

What do you mean by fitting full bore type.
Confused tbh.

Do you just mean standard 15 or 22mm iso ball valves?

I think there are isolation valves somewhere under the flooring but don’t want to lift it all as it’s glued laminate.

Are you saying there’s a way to fit isolation valves at the bar??

Cheers.

Full bore isolation valves. No point if they won't be accessible.

No.
Out of interest how are you going to stop the water flowing whilst you remove the bar?

Isolate at mains.

3/4" BSP caps is the answer you're looking for
