Hi
I have been asked to fit a concealed shower valve (roca), but the instructions are very vague, and I'm a bit unsure on how to proceed.
so, the valve is like this:
View media item 89736
the two inlets lower right / left side are the hot and cold IN, and the two outlets right/left at the top are the supply to the shower head and the bath mixer respectively.
a closer shot of the inlets/outlets:
View media item 89737
these are apparently 1/2" connections
the shower arm and bath mixer outlet are like this (bath mixer pictured):
View media item 89738
so, questions:
How do I connect to the inlets / outlets, would it just be a 1/2" to 15mm compression fitting, and if so, does this need to be tapered?
How do I mount the shower head and bath mixer arms? - a standard back plate elbow? (1/2" to 15mm)
The pipework between the valve and arms, I assume would just be copper / plastic 15mm to suit myself?
Finally, there appears to be no mounting hardware at all, is this normal, or is something missing from the kit? - all I have are the valve, the knobs/faceplate etc., and the bath mixer and shower head and arm. - nothing to hold the valve in place in the wall.
Thanks everyone!
