mixer taps

[dotto]

Hi all!
A friend wants to change the bath mixer taps ( over ten years old) and replace it with a normal combined bath and shower mixer taps.Before removing the old one, 1)would it be wise to remove the bath panel and take the mesurements of the distance between centre point of cold pipe and centre point hot water pipe and find a new tap with those mesurements? 2)He has a combi, so should he ask for a mixer taps that withstand mains pressure or all regular mixer taps withstand it? Thank u in advance.

Measurements will be fine and when you use them it will be like a power shower anymake should be ok

if it helps i wondered that, then when i got the taps home i realised they were adjustable (the difference between the centres) but that was some years ago
