Mixer Showers

[Shiner]

I am currently fitting a new bathroom in my house and i have got to fit a Mixer Shower. I know i have to put the pipes in the wall but do i have to protect them in a sleeving before plastering over them.

you MUST protect copper from the cement or it will rot, you should protect plastic so that it can expand & contract, so best to sleeve the pipes whatever they are made from
