Divided spout bath shower mixer taps

[traceyj83]

Does any one know where i can get a bath shower mixer with a divided spout from please?
I have just fitted a standard one but the cold water is going into the hot pipe so i cant use it.
Thanks

I've never known of one. I did once put kitchen a sink mixer on a bath, using a pair of reducing bushes.

Fit non return valves that will stop the problem youve got !

Someone on here said about the divided taps. Thanks for your advice.
My hot water tank is in my flat so I think that's why its happening.
Thanks again.

That was me the low water pressure from your hot water won`t be enough to open a check valve , in my opinion .

Didnt know there was a post about the same problem under a different heading, if theres a big differential between the hot and cold pressures
I get a plumber in, depends on your hot water tank what head of water you have etc etc .

Pegler do a set - search for "Dual Flow"

I fitted them for a customer a couple of months ago.

Check valves and PRV are a bodge and messy - fit the correct item or add a tank up in the loft and you will have a HUGE range of taps available.

Or this one:
