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.
Thanks a million was such a great help completed the job and no call out fee. Big thanks. Those elbows were a mystery to me. The kit was much better option.
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 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
A few mistakes my friend on this installation. Fill the gap around the pipe with silicon and once pipes are cut slide backplate brackets on and offer the mixer in place because you have no play with the pipes
Thank you Tony, I don't believe there's any mistakes here. I think what you're offering is some tips which are more than welcome. Thank you for watching, happy new year! 🎊
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.
@@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 👍
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

Top video, short as well. I can't be doing with these long videos. Thank you
Exactly what I needed to know, thank you, great video!
Thanks for the video, this is going to really help. Out of interest, what size and type drill bit are you using?
@@JW-rx3md 32 mm hole saw for the pipe outlets. 6mm Bosch bit (blue ones sold in Screwfix) for mounting the brackets.
Thank you somuch for taking the time and effort to make this video, im in france and using 12mm pipe ? Any ideas

Wish I’d seen this earlier. Just mounted the old type 304 you referred to. Now stressed about depth!
@@MakeBritainGreat ahh mate, I will keep my fingers crossed for. Let me know how it goes? 🤞
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?

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

At 3:13, what product are you putting on?
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 copper pipe has to be perfect fitted for the distance in between otherwise....
Thank you
Wish you'd have sealed around your pipes and screw holes ?
Hey Paul, I had already sealed around the pipes I should have mentioned that in the video 😩
what is name of the kit?
@@laurelanderson-rostami109 amzn.eu/d/58ma4w5
Just done mine come out at around 2.500
It's on my to do list, sometimes in the future after I've finished her to do list 😩
Pity you didn’t show them the first fixing that’s the most important bit.

Been around for years so they have.
