Hi folks,
This is my first post, and I'm a total newcomer to plumbing. I recently purchased a new shower, its the mixer type. We have an existing mixer shower installed, which I have now removed. I'm now left with two 1 inch copper pipes (15mm) sticking out of our bathroom wall. The problem I have is the pipes are no longer 'round', either through my removing the old shower or maybe when it was installed they got squashed, either way my new shower will no not fit on. Is there a tool or technique I can use to reshape the end of the pipes? As mentioned, the pipes are about an inch long each, and go straight into the tiled area of the bath, I do have some room to move the pipes from side to side, up and down, the left (Hot??) can also be pushed back into the wall a short distance.
Any ideas/advice on how to 'fix' this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Rog
