Can You Get Bar Mixer Shower With 15mm Inlet Connections?

[Whitespirit66]

Long story, so I won't bore you. Just trying to sort someone else's problem job.

Do any bar mixers come with 15mm compr. inlets, instead of the usual 3/4'' BSP? I know many big chunky (expensive) mixers do.

Need to attach one to 2 short lengths of pipe that have 15mm nut and olives on, that stick out of wall. The wall has been newly tiled.

Alternatively, can you buy a chrome fitting thats 15mm compr. one end, and 3/4'' male thread the other?

Otherwise, will have to hack out new tiles.

you can buy a 3/4" male iron to 15mm copper compression fitting , but it will make the shower a couple of inch's off the wall.

Thanks, that's a good suggestion. The previous plumber left it with a washing machine valve (15mmx3/4'' male), so its way off the wall anyway.

Your suggestion prompted me to search, and BES do a chrome 15mm comp. x 1/2'' male fitting. They also do a 1/2'' x 3/4'' chrome bush that will go on the end of this fitting, so I can screw shower onto this.

Forget about the bar shower. If you are skint get a Trevi ctv, cheap as chips.

Yes but your valve will be 4" out from the wall and the pipes will break the first time the kids have a swing from it
A bit more of an eyesore than a "big chunky mixer"

You(or your "plumber") should really have thought of this before you tiled.

The last bar mixer I bought from Screwfix was 15 mm so they may stock them.

Quite a few shower now are 15mm x 150mm centres.
