What fittings join a Triton mixer shower to plastic supply?

[tonetone]

Hi All

I am installing a Triton Antares mixer shower for my brother on the weekend.

http://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/trit...e-special-offers/antares---now-only-£99-.aspx

I don't get to see it until then, but I'd like to know what fittings are required to plumb it in. Screwfix numbers would be ideal! It uses hidden pipework to the outlet, and the whole lot will be in a new studwork wall we are building. The flat is new, so all pipework is currently in plastic, not copper.

I can't tell if it has built in compression fittings, or if tap connectors are used to plumb it?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Tony

Will need some thing like that but could be either 1/2" or 3/4" wont know untill you open the box. Compression not really good idea for consealed showers, didnt have time to look for anything else sorry.

I would have thought it would be one of these.

Whatever the final fitting is (and I suspect it will be 15mm compression and not tap), you need to know what make of plastic pipe it is beforehand since they can have different pipe inserts, unique to the manufacturer.

Thanks guys

I know what you mean about concealed compression fittings, but I don't think it can be avoided, as you can't solder to the shower.

Looks like I'll have to choose the fittings on the weekend!

Thanks again

If you actually bother to look at the link you posted (right hand side of page) you will see 'download fitting guid pdf' which will tell you what connections are made to the shower.
