HOW TO fit a mixer shower

[@andrewellis6070]

This is exactly what Wanted to know, thanks! I recently bought a shower valve that was supplied with those 'elbow' type connectors and wondered why. Thanks for the link to buy the correct type.

Ahh fantastic, it makes me happy to know one of my videos has helped someone. Thank you for watching!

[@chrisw1729]

I have done a complete renovation of a house and I was so stumped with the shower because I got given them old brackets, now I know what to do thanks to you. Cheers man.

Ahh awesome it's a great feeling when a video has been of use to someone. I know my video quality isn't great ATM, I struggle to find the time but one day when I can afford to drop a day at my day job I'll be able to think ahead and plan better videos. Thank you for watching!

Hi there, plumbers paste/joint compound. www.toolstation.com/fernox-water-hawk-jointing-compound/p14953?store=I1&mkwid=_dm&pcrid=null&pkw=null&pmt=null&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwu-63BhC9ARIsAMMTLXRBUGyEqTia1bMYRhRq7weTO8mf6FJszLJvELJHWg3ywoNTk9XwhiEaAuYKEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

The pipes sticking out of mine are 22mm, is there anything I can do, as all fixing kits I've seen are for 15mm

[@DIYTipstricksandhacks]

@@TheNuclearManx if it were me I would use a 22mm to 3/4 adapter. The only problem with this method is you kind of have to get it pretty spot on, if it protrudes too much your chrome collars won't meet the wall, if it protrudes too little you won't have enough thread to nip the shower valve up. Let me know how you get on 👍

Fecking awesome, thank for sharing!!!

[@clivebailey5398]

Thank you somuch for taking the time and effort to make this video, im in france and using 12mm pipe ? Any ideas

[@DIYTipstricksandhacks]

Hi Clive, sorry for the delayed reply I've been working away. It's hard to say without seeing your setup. Do you have the space to install a couple of 15 to 12mm stem reducers?www.monsterplumb.co.uk/jg-speedfit-lowfit-underground-spigot-socket-reducer-15mm-22mm?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwvKi4BhABEiwAH2gcw1g1A3IkJEoppWo0MaHVE4e1rgdaBApQMAU4_Vf1xmFHpB-fKkzCqBoCH6wQAvD_BwE

Will refer back to this when I update my bathroom!

[@TheTravellingScotsman]

I need to change mine. It’s old and creaky. Do you know if the width between the pipes is typically standard between mixer. Fittings?

[@DIYTipstricksandhacks]

Hi, thanks for watching. 98% of exposed valves such as this one will be 150mm pipe centres. There are a few exceptions to that though however, you'd be very unlucky to have one of those.

[@MakeBritainGreat]

Wish I’d seen this earlier. Just mounted the old type 304 you referred to. Now stressed about depth!

[@DIYTipstricksandhacks]

@@MakeBritainGreat ahh mate, I will keep my fingers crossed for. Let me know how it goes? 🤞

[@samyr1982]

The copper pipe has to be perfect fitted for the distance in between otherwise....

[@paulmedwell6064]

Wish you'd have sealed around your pipes and screw holes ?

[@DIYTipstricksandhacks]

Hey Paul, I had already sealed around the pipes I should have mentioned that in the video 😩

[@nosycatUK]

Thank you

[@lennykelly9952]

Pity you didn’t show them the first fixing that’s the most important bit.

[@DIYTipstricksandhacks]

It was my plan, my Mrs got very fed up with not having a bathroom though so I was squeezing an hour in here and there, it just didn't leave me with enough time for filming etc

[@udoubuilder4823]

Just done mine come out at around 2.500

[@DIYTipstricksandhacks]

It's on my to do list, sometimes in the future after I've finished her to do list 😩

Been around for years so they have.
