Could anyone recommend a replacement for a redring expressions 500 8.5 kWh shower

[Dutch85]

They don't seem to make this shower anymore. Could someone recommend a like for like replacement or one that's a near fit please?

Show us a pic of your water supply pipe position on existing shower .( Remove the front cover after turning electrics off first)

Here you go.

The only people that may do something directly comparable similar would probably be redring, if they do such a thing, contact them and they may be able to advise. Manufacturers are notorious for making very dissimilar product footprints.

Alternatively, the Mira Multifit's are probably the most versatile as far as water inlet and cable positions are concerned. As far as the actual footprint on the wall is concerned then that tends to be a bit more difficult and all you can do is compare dimensions.

If I was to get this model of mira shower what additional fittings would I need to buy? Can the existing elbow joint be flipped?

 

[terryplumb]

Your existing water pipe appears to be surface mounted ,and on the right hand side of the existing shower. You would have to ammend that pipework to come in on the left to connect to the one in your pic above ,and that wouldn't look too pretty.

Doesn't look like it. As suggested, it needs to be a Multifit, they come with at least 4 different entry points, if I remember rightly.

This is the manual from a mira multi fit shower. Does it show the pipe can enter from the right, even if surface mounted?

 

[terryplumb]

Apparently, yes It does.

I presume the picture of the shower is a multifit too, just looking at it closer, as there is the right entry with the pipe 'tunnel' that will allow the supply to be routed from right around the bottom and up to the inlet

I'll need to add an extra couple of lengths of pipes and 2 elbows for this shower to be able to fit?

 

[Madrab]

3 elbows and a coupler to straight connect to whatever is coming out of the wall just now
