Hello All,
Have just finished fixing hot and cold supply pipework to support mixer bar for my new shower.
The thermolite block has been chased just above and below the bath to allow for this.
I'm at the point now where I need to plaster over the pipes. There is quite a large 'ish' void to fill near where the pipes turn 90' for the mixer as I fixed a piece of timber in here to support the pipe clips. This worked out much easier than trying to fit clips to block. The pipes are nicely centred/fixed and level. The rest of the chase is only a bit wider than the pipework.
Would it be recommended to do anything to the bare pipes first before plastering and also any recommendations in terms of suitable material for 'packing' the larger void as mentioned to allow for easier plastering.
