Going round in circles getting different info and massive differences in "plumbers" costs to do the job so want to do it myself!
The Mrs wants a new shower - decided on Thermostatic - sorted, but still need to buy one.
I have a Combi Boiler - Ideal Mini C28 12 months old, 3.5 meters from where shower will be positioned, will be positioned above bath, above taps. Hot feed branching off existing hot pipe which runs from combi to bath hot tap and cold feed branching off existing cold pipe running from mains supply to bath cold tap.
Q1 - Is there anything I need to know in selecting a shower? flow rating, opperating pressure (anyone know what pressure the Mini C28 produces?)etc etc
Q2 - Pipework to bath hot tap is copper 22mm, do I need to continue the 22mm to shower or can i branch off a 15mm outlet to then run both hot and cold 15mm pipe to the shower.
Q3 - Installing a new bath also, is it essential to again have 22mm pipe all way to bath hot tap or can 15mm pipe or equivalent flexi pipe connectors be used from the 22mm.
