First off I am a complete beginner. But since moving to a house that needs a ton of work budget is stretch so have had to do most of the work myself.
Anyway, the old bath suite was awful so we purchased a new one. The pipework all needed to be moved as the bath, basin and toilet positions have changed.
Problem has occured with the bath and new shower. I have put all the pipework in and there were no leaks but the pressure on the hot tap is now greatly reduced compared to what it was before I started playing around.
The cold pipes are 15mm pipes, but the hot was 22mm. I put on this converter bit (see, i know all the technical terms) to change it to 15mm. Basically 22mm pipe going in and 2 15mm pipes going out - one to the bath and one to the shower. Could that be the problem?
Because of the low pressure on the hot tap, the shower mixer thing doesn't work cos the cold water outweighs the hot so to speak. The pressure on the hot tap downstairs in the kitchen is fine.
Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated - especially since I am a complete beginner just trying to get the house ready so the family can move in.
Look forward to the replies - even the sarcastic reply from Kevplumb
