Afternoon Folks
I have a problem in that I'd like to remove our bath for access reasons whilst replacing a leaking lead pipe.
The stack in the corner looks like this:-
First of all, the white 15mm flexi piping is Floplast so would that mean these must be Floplast tees as well? Or could I have speedfit fixtures here?
I ask because ideally what I'd like to do is leave flow to the sink in place while I do the rest of the work. So for the cold (stack on left) I think I can probably take that elbow at the top (currently taking shower supply) and put it to the bottom below the copper pipe which feeds the bath. That should hopefully give me something closed in the meantime.
Re the right hand side though, you'll see the first copper tee is going into the pushfit tee, one of which is the sink and the other feeding the shower. What's the best, quickest way of stopping the shower feed? Is there some kind of stop fit connector to put on the tee? Or is just replacing that with a straight connector a better idea?
I'd rather avoid touching that copper tee in the corner if I can (primarily as its almost impossible to reach), so therefore my plan was to do something like mentioned in previous paragraph and then put a brass cap or 22mm stop end further along. Although, I'll probably replace that copper with flexi when putting back in so maybe I'm better off just cutting that copper pipe to the right hand side of the pic for now and just putting a stop end on there?
