my challenge is, before the plumber comes back to fit 2 x 'fast fix' brackets and a bar valve, to fill up the channel in the wall with something that will take plugs and screws to fix the 2 x brackets. I could put mortar in the channels but the word is that it is bad form to have copper pipes running through cement. What is the 'professional' way of filling the hole before covering the wall in acrylic sheet.
installing a bar valve with fast fix brackets
- Thread starter Phil-emup
- Start date
wrap the pipe with tape
As long as the pipe is suitably covered then wall material dependent use mortar/plaster etc
Plan A - I have a roll of flexible corrugated conduit tube which I can slice open and wrap round some of the pipe that isn't tightly clipped into the channel - the plumber has already fixed it back to the brickwork. I'll use Duct Tape to cover the bits I can't wrap then trowel on the mortar. Haven't got a plan B yet.......
