Fitting one of these.....

[Redhotferrari]

Hi Guys,

Need to fit one of these http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/revelle-lever-control-540-2890

Need to put new pipework up to th evalve and was wondering what the best way to do this is? Hollow plasterboard wall, do I need to chase out the plasterboard and take the pipework up?

Is the best way to cut out the gap take the pipes up to position with the elbow on for fitting to the valve, make good the wall, tile etc then fix the valve to the elbow?

Whats the best way of fixing the wall afterwards?

Consider one of these, being thermostatic it will give better temp. control, and its a Triton. Not much more money than the one you have in mind.

Thanks Mark, will have a look into the Triton, however as my initial post, the pipes still need to go to it.......

Any advice on my actual questions?

Several widgets about for that. Look at Pulsar, BES, Toolstation.

You could try threading plastic pipe up behind plasterboard to your shower,if its upstairs you try threading behind plasterboard down from inside roofspace?.If you have to out plasterboard to fit pipes in,you wont have to be to fussy about the repair because your gonna tile over.To sum up,pipes make good,tiles,grout and then fit shower to new pipes Good Luck
