Hi, there I am needing ro replace my Bristan shower valve as the thermostat has seized up and I can't changed the temperature flow. So far no problem, however after reading up the general consensus is that default piping is hot left, cold right so that the thermostat is on the right - however mine is on the left (see pic attached) so I thought I must be piped up incorrectly. However my shower bar is on the right way - hose outlet at the bottom. Can anyone help?

Did it work properly before it seized up? If so it will be fine, different valves have different configurations of on/off and temperature control.
Cheers Andrew - left hand side is defo hot looks like this Bristan shower bar is a weird config.

That really doesn't matter as long as you have cold on the right, hot on the left.
This Bristan one is thermostat to the left, cold to the right, hot to the left, https://www.tradesuppliesonline.com...-with-adjustable-riser-kit-zi-shxsmct-c-p2978

Hot on the left is standard
