Hi all,
I’m fitting a new ensuite, in a room that previously had no plumbing. I’ll be plumbing the hot and cold into this room from the loft above. I’ll also be running separate feeds for the shower. I need to fit a shower pump to increase the pressure. I have chosen the Stuart Monsoon Standard Twin 3.0 Bar 46416 Positive Head Shower Pump.
I have a few questions that I could do with some advice on please:
1. I’m thinking of doing the plumbing in 22mm flexible pipe (such as the speedfit stuff), mainly for convenience reasons and saving on joints. Does anyone have an opinion (positive or negative) on using this type of pipe from the pump down to my shower? (I’ll be using copper from the hot water tank to the pump).
2. As the pipe comes in a 25m roll I’ll also have enough for the standard plumbing of hot and cold into the ensuite as well. Am I fine to use 22mm pipe for this and then downsize to 15mm just before the toilet and sink, or is that inefficient?
Cheers
Jon
