Hi everybody,
I am replacing a exposed shower valve with a concealed unit. The cubicle is a stud/plasterboard wall. In order to get access, i need to cut out a section of plasterboard. My questions are:
1) When letting in new section of plasterboard, what is the best way of sealing joints prior to tiling?
2) The existing pipework is 15mm Hep20. I am led to believe that the fittings are not reusable. If so, i will have to cut old joints off, what is the best way of capping off temporarily?
3) Where is the best position to site the isolator valves as obviously dont want an access panel in tiled cubicle and pipes run down wall and under tray. What type of isolator with Hep20?
Many thanks in advance,
Gary.
