Hello guys
I am starting work on installing a new en suite in my house, by partitioning off a corner of a bedroom. I need to install plumbing and just after some advice really.
I recently had my boiler replaced, and now have H and C pipes in the loft which drop down to feed a shower (standard shower valve type) in main bathroom.
My question is: is it okay to simply come off these H and C pipes in the loft and drop down to feed shower, basin and toilet in the new en suite? Is there any reason why this wouldn't work properly? Boiler is a fairly beefy combi, and pipes in the loft are 15mm. The hot is obviously hot feed from boiler, and cold is from the mains. I planned to drop H and C pipes down from loft into new stud wall cavity to connect into new shower valve, and continue pipes on into floor space with H and C coming back up for wash basin, and the C also continuing on to toilet.
Seems relatively easy to me, but not sure if there is something I am missing!
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
