thermostatic shower bar orientation
- Thread starter pjohng
- Start date
The normal orientation would be on/off on the left, temp on the right, hot flow in on the left, cold flow in on the right. If you're it the opposite way around then does the hose connect onto the top or the bottom?
OK, if the flow valve is on the right then that's very unusual. The only way really to explain why it might be the opposite way around to the norm would be to flip it but that wouldn't normally be practical.
When next in the shower find out which supply pipe at the back gets hot, if it's the left one then a 'normal' bar valve can be fitted, if not then it may be difficult to find a valve that works the opposite way around and worst case the pipework may need swapped.

Is it tepid even when you turn the thermostatic valve past the temp lock (push in button on the tempo control)
Do you turn the valves towards you to turn on/turn the heat up or away from you? Again though see what pipe goes hot at the back of the bar when it's on.
