Hello all.
Installed new 22mm pipe gravity fed from loft tank and via DHW tank, to provide H & C through to new mixer tap in on-suite. 22mm pipework reduces to short run of 15mm pipe to isolation valves, then flex braided pipes to tap.
Flow rate is disapointing, no doubt due to reduction through isolation valves, and I would suggest the mixer tap is fine for mains pressure system, but not gravity fed, due to reduced pipe feed (approx 10mm)
Any thoughts on this?
regards,
