Pipework swap gainsborough triton

[robbie77]

Hi,

I have recently bought a Triton to replace my old broken Gainsborough. I did not realise the difference in fittings and the new Triton needs the inlet feed to be fitted to bottom as opposed to the side on the gainsborough.Its just a couple of inches out and 45 degrees!.There is no facility to rotate the inlet so what pipes will i need?

Will i need to hack and drill into tiles?

hope you can help!

I think I am just going to move the shower up and re-drill it twist the pipe around and fill the old drill holes with grout.
Then I should not need any new pipes.
Sound like a good idea?

Or I could just get another Gainsborough, however I haven't read anything good about them yet!
