Hi,
I have just fitted a bath mixer tap in my bathroom and when i tested the shower the cold water was overpowing the hot, i first thought this was down to the pressure as i live in a flat the cold is run by mains up in the top of the building and the hot out of a tank in my falt, but when i felt the hot tap pipe it was freezing cold!! I am assuming the cold is going back through the hot tap?? Does anyone know how to solve this? I was told about a check valve but not sure if there is enough room to fit one as there is not alot of pipe and its really hard to get to the pipe.
Thanks
