Valves

[stephen harvey]

I am about to connect my power shower pump to the rest of my plumbing and have taken what advice I have seen and run a separate cold supply from my header tank, however for the hot supply I have what I am told is a watrix valve which has a tee where the top is for the shower and the side connector is for the taps. Given the science surrounding this it makes sense. Thing is I have heard that there is such a thing as a wessex valve that has the reverse, i.e. shower goes on the side T and the H/W vent goes in the top. Is there such a thing or is it just a myth? Given the location of the pump and other pipes the weseex valve would save me all sorts of pipe running issues.

I have tried to source one on the web to no avail.

Go with the Warix - just put a 22mm compression elbow on the vertical outlet and likewise on the horizontal outlet and you'll reverse the outlet orientations.

Didn't think of that, I can just about move the pipe back and down enough to make this work thanks !

Didn't think of that

Don't give up the day job.

So is this wessex valve a real thing or will I find in the stores next to the striped paint and the sky hooks

 

[chrishutt]

Try Essex. Look on BES.

If you can't Google it, it doesn't exist, virtually.
