shower pipe work

[brett71]

i am just trying to get something clear in my mind before i start the bathroom job.

i am fitting built in thermostatic controls and just wanted know as these will be halfway up the wall is it ok to T off these pipes for the bath taps?

I am sure this is a straight forward question for experienced plumbers but not something i have ever done

thanks

If you have a gravity fed installation, use 22mm pipes to supply both hot and cold to your shower, reducing them at the last possible point.
You can tee off to the bath feed, no problem.....again, the bigger the feed the better.

I would say it depends on what system you have. If you have a combi then that's OK

If you have a gravity system (with a hot water cylinder and cold water tank in the loft then) you could have the shower on separate pipe work with a booster pump:

Not the cheapest but the best.
